This 135mm petty is built around Ginsan stainless steel, a premium Japanese alloy that takes a genuinely fine edge while remaining easy to sharpen and maintain - excellent edge stability and corrosion resistance without ever feeling brittle. At this length the petty sits in a sweet spot: large enough to handle a real variety of detail tasks, but never so large that it gets in the way during quick, precise work.
The nashiji finish gives the cladding a soft, pear-skin texture that pairs beautifully with the warm sakura cherry wood handle, and 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 feel for both right- and left-handed cooks.
What Customers Are Saying: One reviewer who has owned this petty for several months calls it a great little knife - takes a good edge, stays sharp, and looks fantastic. He considers the length close to perfect for a petty, large enough to handle a variety of tasks without ever feeling cumbersome, and praises it as a genuinely strong value, especially for line and detail work.
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.

I’ve had this knife for a few months now and I’ve got to say, it’s a great little petty. Takes a good edge, stays sharp, and looks amazing. It’s kind of the perfect size for a petty in my opinion; large enough that you can use it for a variety of tasks, but not large enough to ever get in the way. I wouldn’t use it to try and tackle any major tasks, but it’s kind of perfect for anything you might have to do on the line or detail work. It’s also a really great value.
