4116 Petty Gyuto Japanese Chef Knife Blank (4116PETTYG)

4116 Petty Gyuto Japanese Chef Knife Blank

A petty is the bridge between a paring knife and a chef knife. This gyuto-tipped version keeps a little belly for board work while staying small enough for in-hand control.

1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) is the steel behind most German kitchen knives, and for good reason. It is tough, highly corrosion resistant and remarkably easy to sharpen — ideal for a first build or a knife that will see hard daily use.

Steel sourced directly from Voestalpine, hand ground by our team, and heat treated professionally by Voestalpine before it ships. Every blank arrives at working hardness, ready to finish.

A hidden tang suits a wa-style handle. Burn or drill the ferrule, fit an octagonal or D-shape grip, and the balance stays forward where a Japanese blade wants it.
