At just 85mm blade length, this petty is the smallest in the Yahiko Ginsan lineup - genuinely useful for the most detailed in-hand work a kitchen demands, where even a 120mm petty can feel like too much knife. The core is Ginsan stainless steel, prized for taking a fine edge while remaining easy to sharpen and maintain, with excellent corrosion resistance and edge stability that never feels brittle.
The nashiji finish - meaning pear skin - gives the cladding a soft, organic texture that pairs beautifully with the warm sakura cherry wood handle and pakka wood ferrule. Every knife in this line is hand engraved by our friend Akane-san, who also created the elegant calligraphy on the Yahiko box. The even 50/50 grind delivers a neutral, predictable cutting feel suited to both right- and left-handed cooks.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only and dry promptly after use. Do not place in the dishwasher or leave the knife wet on the board. Store carefully to protect the edge and the engraved details.
