Kanetsugu Zuiun Series R-2 Damascus KZD-1 Kiritsuke Petty 150mm (5.9 Inch)

Availability: Normally ships the same day


 Ever since we first started to offer Kanetsugu knives to our customers, back in 2006, we have received many positive comments about Kanetsugu’s knives. Our customers especially praise the sharpness, cutting performance and high standard of manufacturing. The secret behind these words of praise is, or course, Kanetsugu’s original convex edge geometry.

 This year, Kanetsugu celebrates their 100th year in business. To celebrate this special anniversary, Kanetsugu have produced some beautiful and practical 'next-generation' R-2 Damascus Kiritsuke knives, which deliver an even higher level of cutting performance!

 Kiritsuke knives are becoming much more commonplace and popular amongst culinary professionals and Chefs because, similar to a multi-purpose Santoku or Bunka knife, they have a very capable blade shape that can perform a wide variety of cutting tasks.

 The Heptagonal (Seven-sided) Brown Pakka Wood Handle has a Black Pakka Wood Ferrule, a White Spacer and a decorative Mosaic Pin. This elegant, high-quality handle beautifully matches the stylish Kiritsuke blade shape and the overall design. Kanetsugu’s uses their own modern manufacturing technologies to create this practical, high-quality handle, which is water-resistant, crack-resistant and easy to clean.

 These new Kanetsugu ZUIUN knives stand out from other similar products for three reasons:

1. Kanetsugu’s original convex edge geometry;

2. The performance and practicality offered by the R-2 steel blade;

3. The stylish looks, versatility and practicality of the Kiritsuke blade shape.

 We think the new Kanetsugu ZUIUN R-2 Damascus knives are products worthy of celebrating Kanetsugu’s 100 year anniversary and we greatly respect Katesugu’s long history, their knife making expertise and their desire to find a harmonious balance between modern manufacturing methods and traditional craft skills.

 Each ZUIUN R-2 Damascus Kiritsuke knife comes with a stylish ZUIUN Black Lacquered Wooden Saya and a Kiri (Paulownia) Wood Presentation Box.

 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 Knife

Kanetsugu Zuiun Series R-2 Damascus KZD-1 Kiritsuke Petty 150mm (5.9 Inch). It was like opening a new iPhone. Opening the well designed packaging was part of the experience. The knife is just gorgeous; the polished Damascus R2 steel glinting under kitchen lights, the unusual seven sided wa just draws you to pick it up. The lovely saya supplements the quality of the knife. Straight from the box the knife is sharp, but benefits from finishing on wet stones to achieve the R2 steel’s full potential sharpness. The knife being 150mm long makes it multi functional, for paring, fine trimming, intricate knife work and doubling as a small gyuto. I find the knife almost to good to use.

Great Knife, fast shipping

I was looking for a kiritsuke petty that had a Saya for quite some time, and I finally found it here. SG2 is a great steel, and the knife is really handsome. The handle is very comfortable to hold, either by the handle or pinch grip. Plus, the shipping was surprisingly fast coming all the way from Osaka.
