Petty is a Japanese kitchen knife designed for lighter tasks in the kitchen. Its pointed tip is perfect for cutting onions and other small vegetables or fruits.
This Petty knife has a blade length of approximately +- 150 mm and a total length of approximately +- 270 mm including the handle. All these knives are handmade in our workshop, and variations in size and color may occur; we strive to make them as similar as possible, but each knife is unique! The weight of the knife is approximately 80-95 grams. Height at the heel is approximately 40 mm.
The knife features a laminated blade, made of the classic Swedish steel Uddeholm 2140, also known as ARNE, and pure nickel. ARNE is a high-quality steel that maintains its sharpness well, becomes very sharp, is extremely easy to sharpen, and takes a very fine edge even at lower grits. The hardness of the core steel is approximately 61-62 HRC.
The knife has a light convex grind that helps a lot with food release and is pleasantly thin behind the edge, allowing the knife to cut effortlessly. The bevels are shaped on a belt sander and have a fine hand finish before etching.
ARNE is a high-carbon steel and is not stainless, so make sure to dry it thoroughly after use.
You can choose from three different handle materials: old black oak, Swedish elm root, and locally harvested masur birch.

Crafts from scratch
We manufacture our knives from the ground up in our forge, often with different types of steel and metals for specific appearance and properties. This process is called welling, where the materials are merged under high pressure. We usually use Swedish steel for its high quality and durability.
Razor blade edge
When the knife blade is infected, format and tempered, the grinding of the blade's grinding phases, which determines the geometry of the blade. Kitchen knives are ground thinner than hunting knives, which need stronger primary eggs. The grinding is performed by hand and is followed by final polish with stones, sandpaper and polishes. The blade is then sharpened by hand in Japanese bench stones for best sharpness.
