TOJIRO Petty DP Hammered 150mm (5.9″) is a new budget superstar from the hands TOJIRO’s blacksmiths. TOJIRO’s secret recipe of hardening VG-10 steel doesn’t disappoint with this 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 61 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 blade coupled with a rustic looking kuro-uchi finish. Hammer dents also have a function, they help with the food release.

A durable stamina wood handle is used, allowing for an ergonomic and fatigue-less grip. It features a stainless bolster and three rivets for a secure handle fixation, reducing the possibility for cracks in the handle.
