Yoshihiro Inox Honyaki Stain Resistant Steel Wa Petty 6" Utility knife Rosewood Handle with Lacquered Magnolia Wood Saya Cover

Our Yoshihiro Inox Petty is forged from a single piece of Aus-10 stainless steel and is complimented with a premium Octagonal Shaped premium rosewood handle that affixed with double bolsters. It is NSF certified for use in commercial kitchens. With a carbon content of over 1%, the Yoshihiro Inox Stain-Resistant Aus-10 steel knives outclasses most other competitors in edge retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening.

 Sometimes called a Utility knife, the Petty is a smaller version of chefs knife but is bigger than a paring knife. The Petty fits in small places that require more dexterity than bigger chefs knives while handling bigger jobs than a paring knife can take care of. The Petty will soon become the go to knife in your kitchen. The difference will be felt right away when a hand forged Japanese Petty knife of incomparable sharpness is used for smaller precision tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing small fruits and vegetables to handling bigger tasks as a small chefs knife. A razor sharp Petty knife can intricately carve and style vegetables and fruits for beautiful presentations and garnishes, performing just as well for bigger jobs such as preparing meals. Even the simplest of tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.

Yoshihiro Honyaki Inox Stainless Steel Wa Petty Japanese Knife is at the vanguard of Japanese cutlery, representing the highest level of craftsmanship. Honyaki means "true forged" and is the purest reflection of the traditional art of Japanese sword making. A single piece of Inox AUS-10 Steel (HRC 62-63) is heated in hearths that reach temperatures in the thousands and quenched in cool water for hardness and durability. Polished with a brilliant mirror finish, the Inox AUS-10 Honyaki knives offer the best of both worlds combining ancient Japanese sword making techniques with modern metallurgy. Composed of advanced high carbon stainless steel, AUS-10 knives provide peace of mind in high paced environments.  

Japanese knives should always be sharpened and honed on premium quality Japanese water stones. For maintenance info and professional Japanese knife sharpening contact our Yoshihiro Cutlery store.
