Seki Kyuba RYU Petty Paring Knife 15cm

For all those small tasks: Petty “Petty” comes from the French petit — small — and the 15cm blade is exactly that: the agile counterpart to a full chef’s knife. It’s the one you reach for to peel, trim and handle detailed work, from garnish and delicate fruit to precise meat trimming, where a larger knife feels unwieldy. It carries the same VG10 steel core and 33 layers of stainless Damascus as its larger siblings, just in a compact form, hand-forged in Seki, Gifu. At 62 HRC the VG10 core holds a razor edge and sharpens easily, while the layered cladding adds durability, stain resistance and a flowing, water-like grain. The full Damascus pattern is finished with a subtle hammered texture that helps food release during fine cuts. Available in Mediterranean Blue, Olive Green or Natural Brown.
