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.
Takeshi Saji (1948) has over half a century of experience as a blacksmith. He has even earned the title of "traditional master craftsman" which is awarded by the Japanese government to craftsmen who distinguish themselves by their skills. He has been forging high end hunting knives for a long time, which adds an extra dimension to the way he makes his blades. Indeed, Saji's knives have a robust and "primal" feel that reminds us of hunting knives.
The handle is made of synthetic turquoise*
