Kohetsu HAP40 Western Petty 180mm

Kohetsu HAP40 Petty 180mm. This exclusive line of HAP40 knives is made under our Kohetsu brand and it's been a smash success. The line has developed over the past months to include both Western style and Japanese style handles. The Western knife range now boasts seven different blades types and sizes.

This lovely mid-sized petty is a perfect all-around utensil for chefs of all types. It’s small enough for the most intricate work, like garnishes and hand-held peeling jobs, yet large enough for more general cutting and slicing purposes.

This petty has a really well shaped tip and slightly rounded belly forward of the main cutting edge. While it sits on the thin side of the fence it is certainly no laser. It has a well executed progressive grind.

HAP steel is made by Hitachi Metals and this core semi stainless steel is then clad in a fully stainless alloy for added protection and strength. The exposed HAP40 edge will eventually take on a nice patina. A comfortable mahogany Western style handle is attached to the nicely formed stainless bolster and tang with three rivets.
