We have this line of AS knives made exclusively for CKTG by the talented blacksmith Tsukahara-San. The core steel is hardened to 64 HRC and is laminated with a softer stainless steel using a san-mai construction. The blade is laser cut from a pre-laminated sheet.
The stainless cladding protects the blade from corrosion and makes for easy maintenance. The exposed AS steel edge needs to be kept dry but will develop a patina over time which will aid in its protection and add to the great looks of this kitchen workhorse.
The 120mm petty is a small knife suited for a multitude of cutting and paring tasks. It is the perfect tool for chopping and slicing smaller items and a little gem when it comes to intricate garnish preparation. Watch out ripe tomato, you’ve met your match! This compact knife will also suit smaller hands more than other larger knives.
Please note that the knife sharpener intentionally thins the edges of these knives to make them perform better, especially on the tip area. Often times you will see a hazy/cloudy scratch pattern as a result. This is not a defect.
We do not have a saya that fits this knife. We recommend the felt blade guard instead.Weight: 2.6 oz (76 g)

Kohetsu AS Western Petty
Great Petty KnifePosted By: Brian - verified customer

My third Japanese knife and 1st AS steel. It is a razor. I have not needed to sharpen it at all in the two weeks I've used it. I just balsa and leather strop it every other use. Great for delicate garnish work, or even shallots and garlic. My western handled version had the rivets exposed a bit, so I gave it 4 stars. Everything else aside from that is 5 stars. Value is hard to beat. An AS steel knife for $100. Blade & cladding top notch.
