Its profile, tapering toward a fine tip, allows detailed work both on the board and in-hand. At this length, the petty functions as a natural complement to a gyuto or santoku, taking over where reach and bulk become a liability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ebony handle, with its tightly packed grain and deep, uniform tone, creates a strong contrast with the blade. Ebony is among the densest woods used in knife handles, giving it high dimensional stability and a naturally smooth surface. At this compact format, its weight keeps the balance point over the blade, where control is needed most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPG Strix (Takefu Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a stainless powder steel built around the Strong Matrix concept: hardness, rated at HRC 63,65, comes from reinforcing the metallic base structure rather than accumulating hard carbides. The result is a very fine, homogeneous grain that supports a consistent, long-lasting edge. On a whetstone, SPG Strix responds with the accessibility of a carbon steel despite its hardness. Fully stainless: no patina develops, no protective oil is needed between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse and dry after each use. Do not put in the dishwasher.
