The petty knife is the equivalent of a Western paring knife. It is therefore one of the most important blades to have in a kitchen, with the difference that the petty knife is more versatile than a traditional paring knife.

Nagakawa-san apprenticed with the legendary master blacksmith Kenichi Shiraki, who created the Shiraki Hamono brand, eventually becoming its head when Shiraki-san retired. In 2005, Nakagawa-san changed the brand’s name to Nakagawa Hamono.
Nakagawa-san is now one of the most renowned blacksmiths in the world of high-end artisanal cutlery. He works with all types of steel, but his mastery of heat treatment is best appreciated with Ginsan, Aogami #1, and Shirogami #1 steels.

The handle is handcrafted from approximately 5000 year old dead oak, with nickel silver spacers and fordite ends.
This blade we offer you is forged from Ginsan steel, a steel that combines the best of both worlds: rust-proof and stainless steel. The high carbon content in this alloy allows it to achieve a very fine edge and stay sharp for a long time. On the other hand, the chromium content in the alloy is high enough to make this blade resistant to oxidation.
