Hitohira TD Aogami #2 Kurouchi Petty 135mm Walnut

The Petty is the perfect knife for slicing fresh herbs, cutting small vegetables and peeling fruits. Very versatile, this knife can even be used to debone poultry and small pieces of meat. Inspired by the French cuisine, the term ''petty'' is derived from the word ''petit'' and refers to a small chef's knife.

The city of Sanjo in Niigata Prefecture has been famous for its blacksmithing since the 1600s. In the early years, they mainly forged nails by hand. Then, from 1660, different forging techniques were introduced by blacksmiths from Aizu. Thanks to this, the blacksmiths of the city began to diversify their production. The quality of Sanjo's tools and knives enjoyed a strong reputation in Japan at that time, and it still does today.

Product notes

Please take note

Each handle is unique and may exhibit distinct variations, such as differences in shades or colors in the buffalo horn, which is part of its authentic and handcrafted character.

Guarantee

Every knife carries a lifetime warranty against obvious manufacturing issues. For example, if the handle peels or cracks after a few weeks of proper use. Or if the blade develops a crack from the edge to the spine. These issues are rare, but can occur. In such cases, you will be offered an exchange for the same product or a refund. Since each case is different, it is at our discretion to assess whether our lifetime warranty against obvious manufacturing issues applies.

BLADE MATERIALS

At StaySharpMTL, we use only high-performance materials to craft our blades, ensuring durability, sharpness, and precision. Our core range is made from high-carbon stainless steel, chosen for its excellent edge retention and rust resistance, making it ideal for everyday use in both the kitchen and workshop. For those seeking a premium look and feel, our Damascus steel combines multiple layers of forged steel to create blades that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also incredibly strong and flexible. We also offer select models with a ceramic finish, which provides a smooth, ultra-durable surface to reduce friction and increase wear resistance. Each blade material is selected for its unique performance, ensuring there's a suitable option for every user.

BLADES DIMENSIONS

StaySharpMTL blades are available in a range of sizes and profiles to suit different applications. Our most common lengths include 100mm blades for compact or on-the-go use, 150mm for general tasks, and 200mm for more intensive work. In terms of blade width, we offer options such as 20mm convex grinds, ideal for fine tools and razors, and 25mm flat grinds, ideal for chef's knives and utility blades. Blade thickness also varies: from 0.5mm for extra-fine edges to 1.2mm for more robust cutting needs, giving users the flexibility to choose the blade best suited to their sharpening needs and cutting style.

INTENDED USE

StaySharpMTL blades are designed to meet a variety of needs. Our 150mm stainless steel blades are ideal for everyday kitchen tasks, offering the perfect balance between sharpness and durability. For on-the-go use, the 100mm Damascus steel or stainless steel blades are suitable for travel, pocket knives, and outdoor gear. For heavy-duty or professional work, the 200mm Damascus steel or ceramic-coated blades offer exceptional strength and edge retention, perfect for woodworking tools and workshop applications.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

To keep your blade in perfect condition, rinse and dry it after each use; never leave it wet. For high-carbon or Damascus steel blades, apply a light coat of mineral oil to prevent rust. Ceramic-coated blades should be cleaned gently with soap and a soft cloth. Sharpen them as needed, wipe them dry after sharpening, and store them in a dry place in a case or scabbard. For Damascus steel, annual oiling and a light polish help maintain its beauty and performance.
