Check out this stunning petty - beautiful hammered Damascus cladding with a mirror polish over the top, made from rare AUS-10 steel produced by Aichi Steel in Tokai, Japan. AUS-10 is a high carbon alloy with added nickel, manganese, and silicon for improved ductility and elasticity, while vanadium, chromium, and molybdenum give it superior corrosion resistance.
This line is known for its lightweight, laser-like precision, thanks to a genuinely thin distal taper running from neck to tip. At 155mm this petty has the extra reach over a shorter petty for light board work as well as detail tasks. The fine blade is paired with a well-made handle crafted from solid oak.
What Customers Are Saying: One reviewer calls this petty the most beautifully crafted knife in her collection - well balanced, comfortable in hand, and screaming sharp out of the box, moving from tomatoes to onions to hard winter squash without hesitation. She notes the hammered finish readily releases food, keeping the blade ready for the next slice, and reports the AUS-10 holds an edge well and is easily maintained with a ceramic hone.
Care Instructions: AUS-10 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 as needed.

The Tsunehisa AUS10 Hammered Damascus Petty 150 is easily the most beautifully crafted knife in my collection. The knife is well balanced and feels comfortable in the hand. Screaming sharp out of the box, it transitions from tomatoes to onions to hard winter squash without hesitation. The hammered steel readily releases food so the knife is ready for the next slice. The AUS-10 holds an edge well and is easily maintained on a ceramic hone.
