The petty knife is a kitchen utility blade used for delicate tasks when a long slicing motion is not required. Tall enough at the heel of the blade to be used on the board. Short and nimble enough to be used off the board. Ease of slicing is achieved through a forged distal taper (narrowing of the blade towards the tip.

This petty knife is forge welded together in the traditional fashion. A soft jacket is mated to a razor sharp core steel In the forge without modern welding equipment. The jacket material completley wraps around with the core peaking out just at the edge. The pattern of the core will be revealed over time or through kasumi sharpening. If you would like to explore the comfort and a style of a rustic kitchen knife give one of these pettys a try.
