[Sold] Japanese-style Petty Knife in Redwood and Acacia

[Sando]

My first offering on BladeForums! (so be nice )

This is a Japanese-style petty knife, a must-have design for serious kitchens! This knife has an aggressive tip for precise cuts and a slightly wider-than-average blade for easy cutting board work. Its balance point is right at the front of the handle, making it feel weightless when using a pinch grip.

The edge geometry is for serious, experienced cooks. It's fragile and insanely sharp. Really.

I promise that the favorite part of your meals will be prepping the ingredients!

Cutting Edge Length: ... 140mm (5 1/2")

Jaysdad2 and woodysone thanks so much for the kind words!

I've been making and selling knives off and on for 20 years, but really serious now that I'm retired. I've been refining this design for a while now. This knife checks all my boxes.
