It has been always pleasure to work with Master Gotou and his team of highly skilled craftsmen to develop our high quality KAGAYAKI series of Western-styled knives. Kagayaki Basic Series, KAGAYAKI VG-10 Series, and KAGAYAKI CarboNext Series have each become very popular with our customers, due to the consistently high standards of quality and craftsmanship achieved by Master Gotou and his team of fine craftsmen.
In order to satisfy new market demands, including those of a large number of experienced users and knife enthusiasts, Master Gotou has recently been refining his techniques for making the new generation of special steel knives. Master Gotou selected a special Powdered Metallurgy High Speed Tool Steel called “R-2”, which he heat-treats to HRc. 63. R-2 is made by a highly reputable Japanese company called Kobelco, and the steel offers remarkable cutting performance and edge retention. It is 3 layers construction blade, outer soft stainless steel supports the R-2 hard steel core for making the strength and ease of the maintenance.
The knives feature full tang construction, water-resistant black pakkawood (Resin impregnated wood composite) handle scales and stainless steel bolsters for extra durability and improved blade balance.
The knife also comes with a matching wooden Saya (Sheath) with a decorative black lacquer finish.
A mainstay of professional Western kitchens, the Petty knife is a small general-purpose knife used for peeling, shaping, and slicing fruits and vegetables, chopping herbs, and making garnishes. The compact size and relatively narrow blade of the Petty knife mean that it is very nimble and controllable, thus it is ideal for making precise cuts.

Petty 150mm (5.9") Cutting edge length: 152mm (5.9") Total Length: 261mm (10.2") Blade Thickness: 1.6mm (0.06") Blade Width: 29mm (1.1") Handle Length: 103mm (4.0") Total Weight: 97g (3.4oz) |
This knife comes with 50/50 double bevel edge geometry for both right and left handed use.
For your information, Japanese Kitchen knives are generally designed for right hand use with a slightly thicker and rounded grinding on the right side blade and a less rounded (almost straight flat) grinding on the left side blade. However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50/50 without problems.
We believe the quality and cutting performance of Japanese knives are the best in the world, and hope you enjoy fine craftsmanship and sharp edge with your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife should be your special cooking partner for long times.

It's a wife's knife and she is delighted with it. Knife exceeded all expectations. All my knives and accessories bought from JapaneseChefKnife.com are very high quality peaces of art.

Easy site to navigate and shop from. Quick turnaround. Knife exceeded all expectations. I’d shop here again without hesitation and strongly recommend this knife and this website.
The order took 8 days by DHL to Fremantle, Australia. The purchase experience was very nice, and the product is high quality and gorgeous to look at. The included wooded saya fits perfectly. I must purchase a #6000/10000 whetstone before I use it too much. I have a 1000/4000 stone, but want to never need to use it on this knife!
Well made. Excellent purchase
