The Sentan SLD Nashiji Petty 120mm with purple ferrule is a compact, precise utility knife built for detail work and control. “Sentan,” meaning “tip” or “leading edge,” reflects a focus on performance and value. The SLD semi-stainless core offers excellent edge retention, good toughness, and easier sharpening than many high-hardness stainless steels. The fine, thin grind gives this knife a nimble feel, making it ideal for trimming, peeling, and in-hand work where precision matters.
The blade features stainless steel cladding for added corrosion resistance, with a nashiji finish on the upper portion and an exposed SLD edge for a clean, purposeful look. It’s fitted with an olive wood handle and a distinctive purple acrylic ferrule that adds a touch of personality while remaining durable and water resistant. Lightweight and well-balanced, this petty is an excellent everyday companion for smaller prep tasks.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only and dry immediately after use. Do not store the knife wet or leave it in a sheath or saya while damp. Avoid cutting hard or frozen foods. Use a wooden or soft synthetic cutting board. SLD steel is semi-stainless and may develop a light patina over time; this is normal and does not affect performance.Brand: Sentan
