Kotetsu 15cm Petty by Yasuda Hamono (NY103)

The Kotetsu range of premium Japanese knives is known for its sharpness, durable steel, and excellent construction and performance, making it an ideal choice for any cook or chef.

This knife range is crafted from 17 layers of stainless steel VG10 for the core, featuring Damascus and Hammered pressed construction with a mirror-polished surface finish. The handle is made from Walnut and Amber Ferrule.

A staple in professional Western kitchens, the Petty knife serves as a small general-purpose knife used for tasks such as peeling, shaping, and slicing fruits and vegetables, chopping herbs, and making garnishes. Its compact size and relatively narrow blade make it nimble and controllable, perfect for precise cuts.

Seki City, a small town renowned worldwide for producing fine knives, has a history that dates back 800 years when Seki thrived as the land of Japanese swords. The superior quality of Seki swords quickly gained recognition throughout Japan, leading to Seki being known as a sword-making center. The techniques and skills of traditional Japanese sword making have been passed down and are still alive in today’s modern cutlery industry.
