4116 Petty Kiritsuke Japanese Chef Knife Blank (4116PETTYK)

4116 Petty Kiritsuke Japanese Chef Knife Blank

This petty carries the angled kiritsuke tip in miniature. The reverse-tanto point excels at precise trimming, scoring and detail work on small produce.

X50CrMoV15 is the pragmatic choice. Molybdenum and vanadium give it wear resistance without brittleness, and the chromium content makes it genuinely low-maintenance in a working kitchen.

We buy our steel direct from Voestalpine, grind each blade by hand on the belt grinder, and return the finished blanks to Voestalpine for professional heat treatment. No guesswork, no garage quenching.
