Tojiro Petty DP Hammered 130mm (5.1″)

Tojiro Petty DP Hammered 130mm (5.1″) is a new budget superstar from the hands Tojiro’s blacksmiths. Tojiro’s secret recipe of hardening VG-10 steel doesn’t disappoint with their new line of hammered kuro-uchi knives either. The knife is very sharp out-of-the-box and is ready to make some (precise) damage to the food you’re about to prepare. Petty knives are very useful for all those smaller tasks where larger chef’s knives are deemed unwieldy. A must-have knife in every kitchen since it is used for peeling, paring and decorating food.

The VG-10 core, clad into a layer of softer stainless steel, is hardened to 60 HRC. Not a super hard knife, but this also means it is not a very sensitive blade, so you’ll get a good ratio of edge retention and not needing to worry about chipping the blade very easily. The looks on Tojiro’s new line is simply stunning – you’ll marvel at the beautiful hammer dents on the top of the knife which were left unpolished to give the knife the kuro-uchi finish. Hammer dents also have a function, they help with the food release.

Tojiro fitted a traditional Japanese D-shaped-handle made of magnolia wood with a plastic ferrule. Nothing fancy here, but does the job just fine and keeps the overall weight of the knife low.
