Modern Japanese Craft – Petty Knife 120mm / 150mm with Stainless Monaka Handle
A small knife with a blade length of around 150mm is called a petty knife. It is ideal for peeling fruits and vegetables or performing decorative cuts thanks to its excellent maneuverability. For this reason, it is also often referred to as a fruit knife.
The blade is crafted from highly regarded VG5 stainless steel, forged in a three-layer structure. Each knife is carefully hand-sharpened by skilled artisans, ensuring an exceptional and lasting edge.
The handle is made of stainless steel with an ergonomic design. Despite its solid appearance, it is surprisingly lightweight compared to wooden handles, comfortable to grip, and highly resistant to rust.
While Damascus blades and traditional Japanese-style handles are very popular overseas, in Japanese households practical models like this one are currently in trend.
