Description: Hattori Chef's knives are the height of perfection. They epitomize form meeting function in a tool that is not only beautiful to behold, but which performs so well it is a joy to use.
As you may guess, petty means "small". Petty, or paring knives are exceptional for detail tasks - from taking the eyes out of potatoes to removing the tops from strawberries. Petty knives generally range between 4 and 5 inches.
The blade and tang are both distal tapered for a superior sense of balance. The handle was made by Daniel O'Malley using stabilized sheoak. The fine grained wood nicely compliments Hattori's damascus. By using stabilized wood, Mr. O'Malley assures that the handle will hold up extremely well to the demanding environment of a professional chef's kitchen. Stainless rivets surround a central mosaic pin. The blade, with its intricate, high contrast Damascus sides is produced to absolute perfection. The center is created from Cowry X steel, one of the best steels anywhere and is hardened to Rc63-65 (extremely hard!). The softer Damascus steel sides are both visually stunning and supportive of the ultra-hard blade. The result is an extremely long-lasting razor-sharp edge.
