A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, providing protection and enhancing the knife's appearance when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Yoshihiro VG-10 Hammered Damascus Petty Knife is forged with particular care to create a medium-sized, sturdy blade that can navigate both small and large tasks with finesse. Even the simplest tasks are elevated with this handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional. The knife's VG-10 Core provides exceptional sharpness, while the Damascus layers ensure strength and durability. The Ambrosia handle is ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip, allowing for precision and control. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction, keeping food from sticking, while the Saya protects the blade when not in use. Each knife is handcrafted by master artisans at Yoshihiro, making every piece a unique work of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes called a utility knife, the Petty is a smaller version of a chef's knife, but larger than a paring knife. The Petty fits into tight spaces that require more dexterity than larger knives, while also handling bigger tasks that a paring knife cannot manage. This knife will soon become your go-to tool in the kitchen. You'll immediately notice the difference when using a hand-forged Japanese Petty knife for precision tasks like peeling, trimming, and slicing small fruits and vegetables. It also performs effortlessly for larger jobs, acting as a small chef's knife. A razor-sharp Petty knife is perfect for intricate carving and styling of vegetables and fruits for beautiful presentations, all while excelling in day-to-day meal preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires proper care and attention. To maintain its edge, sharpening and honing should only be done with water whetstones. Hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use, particularly when working with acidic ingredients. Avoid using this knife on hard materials like bones, nutshells, or frozen foods to preserve its sharpness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnife Specs:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46 Layer Hammered Damascus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG-10 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Edged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambrosia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolster Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pakkawood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMagnetic Maple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"6\" (150mm)","offer_id":37098998923451,"sku":"NSPE150AHMM","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-vg-10-46-layers-damascus-petty-utility-japanese-chef-knife-6-150mm-ambrosia-handle-MAIN.jpg?v=1767996165","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/46-layer-hammered-damascus-petty-utility-prep-knife","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
