About the Shape - Petty

Petty (ぺティ) knives are considered to be a smaller version of the Gyuto and are similarly used as an all-rounder knife to peel, slice, dice, mince, peel and trim a variety of smaller fruits, vegetables, herbs, garnishes and proteins.

About the Steel - ZDP189

Developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, ZDP189 contains extremely high carbon - 3% and chromium - 20% content, making it extremely hard with superior edge retention. It is capable of being head treated to up to 68 HRC. With its extreme hardness, ZDP189 is known for difficult to sharpen and forge, resulting a lower popularity among knife makers despite outstanding performance.

About the Finish - Migaki

Migaki (磨き) means polished but not necessarily as finely polished like a mirror finish. The finish gives knives a minimalist and elegant look though the degree of polishing varies from one blacksmith to the next.
