Precision and Performance in a Compact Blade

The Kazoku Kage Aogami Petty 13.5 cm is a must-have tool for any chef who values razor-sharp precision in a compact, versatile form. Made from Aogami #2 carbon steel, this knife offers exceptional sharpness and easy maintenance, outshining many stainless steel blades in cutting performance. The core is wrapped in two layers of stainless steel, providing rust resistance while preserving the blade's strength. The blade's beautifully sloping distal taper begins thick and gradually thins, ensuring a resilient edge that cuts with fine precision.

The Petty knife’s narrow blade is ideal for delicate tasks like cutting small vegetables and fruits with accuracy. The sharp point enhances control, making it indispensable for intricate kitchen work. Featuring a Japanese magnolia handle with a horn bolster, this knife provides a comfortable, secure grip for right-handed users thanks to its D-shape design.
