The KS Series is Masamoto’s range of high-grade Sweden Stainless Steel Japanese traditional-style knife. Masamoto KS Series Wa Petty is completely hand sharpened, polished and finished by especially skilled and experienced craftsmen, which results in extra edge sharpness and a more refined level of finish.
Masamoto KS Series knife uses a blade core of Sweden Stainless Steel (HRc. 59-60). This is the Stainless Steel Version of Masamoto's popular KS White Steel No.2 Wa Petty.
Each knife is fitted with a traditional Japanese ‘D-shaped’ magnolia wood handle with a water buffalo horn ferrule / collar and also includes a matching magnolia wood Saya (Sheath) for safekeeping.
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.

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 the fine craftsmanship and their sharp edge of your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife should be your special cooking partner for a long time.

AustriaThis knife feels like a feather in your hand. It is so light and well balanced... Its also very thin, so it glides through everything very easily. I Love it. It also has a clean look - beautiful! Highly recommended!
United StatesThe knive is super lite, i thought i wouod like because i usually like more weight, but nope. It is very sharp and i love cutting my cooked proteins (steaks, chops, etc) with it. It slices through very clean, like cutting through melted butter. The packaging was great, it arrived quickly and well packed to avoid any damage. Love it. Thank you
AustraliaHi quality item. Razor sharp and holds an edge very well. You get what you pay for! Service is second to none. Would highly recommend.
CanadaI’ve bought 2 knives so far from Japanesechefsknifes so far. I 150% support this site and company. They have been really helpful as well learned a lot about the knife I was purchasing. I have bought 2 masamoto ks series knives and as a chef that works 70-90 hour weeks and always cooking and cutting thing throughout the day. I may say it’s one of the best knives I have ever purchased. My knife collection running a long way going into 3 knife bags now starting with global, miyabi birch wood to the masamoto set. The 2 knives do everything I need on the daily basis while keeping a sharp cutting edge.
