Sawakazuma Ginryu Damascus Aoniko Petty 135 mm / 5.3" Rosewood Handle

Do you need a knife you can use for all those smaller tasks? 

The petty knife is the perfect length for everything from cubing small chicken breasts to peeling an apple. The Sawakazuma Aoniko Damascus petty knife will keep a sharp edge for an extremely long time and looks stunning while you work (or if you'd like to display it on the wall as artwork!)

Useful on food types: Small proteins as well as small to medium fruits and vegetables including apples, oranges, carrots, broccoli, and garlic.

The blade is forged Damascus Aoniko, high carbon steel with 17 layers of Damascus. This blade is made of Aogami number 2 (blue steel #2) with excellent sharpness and durability. 

Petty & Paring knives are small utility kitchen knives perfect for small proteins, fruits and vegetables.

This blade needs to be cared for more than stainless steel as it will rust easier, water should be removed immediately. It is a fascinating knife that can be used widely from home to professional. 

This knife maker is Sawakazuma from Echizen city, Fukui which is located along the Sea of Japan. Echizen knives have a long history, dating back 700 years. While Japanese knives as a whole are typically designed with thinner blades than their European counterparts, the knives coming from Echizen take that a step further and are even narrower.
