Kajiyamura Hakuun Petty VG-10 Damascus 120mm (4.7")
Discover the Kajiyamura Hakuun Petty VG-10 Damascus 120mm — a versatile, beautifully crafted kitchen knife that will take your cooking up a notch. Made from high-performance VG-10 steel with a stunning 17-layer Damascus finish, this knife delivers exceptional sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. Its balanced, symmetrical blade and comfortable brown pakka wood handle offer effortless control for right- and left-handed users alike. Whether slicing meat, fish, or vegetables, this Petty combines traditional craftsmanship with modern performance and style.
BLADE SHAPE:
The petty knife is the Japanese equivalent of a Western utility knife — compact, agile, and ideal for precision tasks. At 120mm, it offers excellent control and maneuverability, making it ideal for peeling, trimming, and detailed work like slicing garlic, herbs, or garnishes. Its smaller size makes it a go-to knife for quick tasks both on and off the cutting board.
STEEL:
VG-10 steel is great for professional environments, mainly due to its excellent edge retention and stainless qualities, while at the same time being ideal for the home cook that wants a reliable knife that won't need much maintenance.
VG-10 steel is stainless steel with relatively high Carbon (C) content (1%), 15% Chromium (Cr), 1% Molybdenum (Mo), 0.3% Vanadium (V) and 1.5% Cobalt (Co). The combination of Cr, Mo, and V forms a lot of hard carbides, making the steel abrasion resistant, which translates to long-lasting, smooth sharpness.
LAMINATION:
The core layer consisting of VG-10 steel was sandwiched between 16 layers of softer steel. This technique is called san-mai and is used to protect the hard (but delicate) core from outside factors and physical impacts, which could lead to breakage.
GEOMETRY:
It has a double bevel (symmetrical) blade.
BLADE FINISH:
The blade has a 16-layer damascus finish. The blade is engraved with the kanji character 白雲: Hakuun, which means "white cloud."
HANDLE:
Western (Yo) style handle with steel rivets made from brown pakka wood.
BLACKSMITH:
This knife is crafted by Miki Hamono, a family-owned smithy located in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture. Established in 1935, this small-town workshop honors traditional Japanese sword-making techniques passed down through generations. They specialize in forging high-quality dual-layer blades combining hard steel and soft iron, blending durability with flexibility.
