This petty pairs a VG-10 stainless steel core with the attractive nashiji finish that defines this entire Sakai Takayuki line. VG-10 is trusted throughout Japanese cutlery for its strong edge retention and easy sharpening on water stones, and the pear-skin textured cladding both looks distinctive and improves food release during detail work.
Weighing just under 3 ounces, the knife handles effortlessly for the precise, in-hand tasks a petty is built around - trimming, peeling, segmenting citrus, and mincing small ingredients. The 2mm spine and 29mm blade height keep the grind genuinely thin behind the edge, while the longer 150mm length adds reach for light board work like slicing fruit or trimming proteins. The ebony octagonal handle offers a comfortable, secure grip with a timeless look that suits both professional kitchens and home cooks.
Care Instructions: VG-10 is a fully stainless steel - low maintenance and resistant to corrosion. Hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher. Sharpen on quality water stones as needed.
