The Takayuki Sumire Petty is a compact detail knife from Sakai, Japan, built around a VG10 stainless steel core in warikomi construction with a black pakka wood handle. VG10 is one of the most widely used Japanese stainless steels in quality kitchen knives - well-rounded performance, solid edge retention, and straightforward maintenance that makes it a practical choice for a daily-use petty. The warikomi construction wraps the VG10 core in stainless cladding for added durability and a clean visual separation between core and cladding along the blade road.
This is a very compact, precise knife, best suited for close detail work like peeling, trimming, segmenting, and fine cuts where a longer blade would feel like too much knife. The black pakka wood handle is durable, water-resistant, and well-suited for professional kitchen use.
Care Instructions: VG10 is a stainless steel - low maintenance and resistant to corrosion. Hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher, bones, and frozen foods. Sharpen on quality water stones.Brand: Sakai Takayuki
