Musashi Petty Stainless Clad Knife

A 145mm Petty is a versatile utility knife designed for detailed tasks that are too cumbersome for a large chef's knife. It is ideal for peeling fruit, trimming vegetables, removing sprouts, and performing precise decorative cuts.

Aogami Super, or Blue Super, is a high-carbon steel known for its exceptional hardness and edge retention. While it offers a superior, razor-like cutting experience, it requires more care than stainless steel to prevent oxidation and rust.

No, this knife is designed for precision and fine work. Due to its thin blade geometry, it should not be used for cutting through bone, frozen foods, or dense, hard vegetables like squash, as this could chip the edge.

Because it is double-edged, it is sharpened symmetrically on both sides, making it easy to maintain for both right- and left-handed users. You can use standard whetstones to maintain its edge, provided you match the factory angle.

Always hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use to prevent rust on the carbon steel core. To keep the ebony handle in top condition, avoid soaking it in water and occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil to the wood to prevent it from drying out.
