Master Sharpness in Every Cut

The Kazoku Mayonaka Petty 9 cm is a precision-crafted knife designed for chefs who demand razor-sharp performance in every slice. Built for fine, detailed tasks like peeling, trimming, and slicing small vegetables and fruits, this compact knife delivers exceptional control and finesse. The Mayonaka’s narrow blade and sharp tip allow for intricate work with ease, making it an essential tool in any serious kitchen.

Crafted with a core of Aogami #2 carbon steel (62 HRC), the Kazoku Mayonaka achieves a level of sharpness beyond stainless steel alternatives. The knife’s edge is easy to maintain and quick to resharpen, ensuring long-lasting performance. A beautiful distal taper adds strength near the handle while allowing the blade to gradually become thinner toward the tip, enabling ultra-precise cuts without compromising durability.

The core is protected by two layers of stainless steel cladding, reducing the risk of rust while maintaining the integrity of the carbon steel. A Nashiji finish gives the blade a distinct textured appearance that enhances food release and adds visual character. The Western-style walnut wood handle, known as a "Yo" handle in Japan, offers a solid, balanced grip that feels familiar and secure—whether you're right- or left-handed.

Handcrafted in Sanjo, Japan, the Kazoku Mayonaka Petty 9 cm is a refined, high-performance knife that blends traditional materials with practical design for the modern chef.
