BLADE SHAPE:
Petty is a small multi-purpose Japanese kitchen knife that can be used for peeling, mincing, paring, and decorating food. It can be used on and off the cutting board. Due to its thinness, it's great for preparing smaller fish, deboning poultry and trimming meat.
STEEL:
The heart of this knife is made of Aichi's AUS-8 stainless steel, which was hardened to around 60 HRC. AUS-8 steel is a popular Japanese steel from the Aichi steelworks that is incredibly resistant to rust, yet simple to sharpen. The steel contains high amounts of carbon (0.7-0.75%) and is also high in vanadium (0.10-0.26%) and molybdenum (0.10-0.30%). It also has a high percentage of chromium (14.5%), making the blade corrosion-resistant and increasing the hardness, durability and the tensile strength of steel mix.
LAMINATION:
The blade consists of 3 layers of steel - the harder steel AUS-8 (60 HRC) and two layers of softer stainless steel are forged welded together in what is known a san-mai construction. This technique is used to protect the hard (but delicate) core from outside factors, such as rust and physical impacts, which could lead to breakage.
LAMINATION:
The blade consists of multiple layers of steel which are forged welded together in what is known a san-mai construction. This technique is used to protect the hard (but delicate) core from outside factors, such as rust and physical impacts, which could lead to breakage.
BLADE FINISH:
The upper part of the blade features a hammered pattern that transitions into an intricate kasumi finish flowing toward the cutting edge. The blade has been treated with hammer blows, creating a textured tsuchime surface that not only gives it a distinctive appearance but also helps prevent food from sticking to the blade.
HANDLE:
This knife was fitted a yo-style, Western-type handle made of pakka wood, and features a stainless bolster. The handle will fit well in your hands for both the hammer and pinch grip.
ABOUT THE BLACKSMITH:
Tsunehisa is a brand that combines a variety of high quality knives from different knife centers in Japan such as Tosa, Seki and Sakai. Their philosophy is that each region has its own steel and different manufacturing processes. For example, Tosa is known for its Ginsanko and Aus-8 steels, Seki is famous for producing excellent blades from the V-Gold steel group, and Sakai for its single-edged Honyaki knives.
