The Tetsuhiro Knife Company comes from the Kiryu forge, a respected name in Japanese bladesmithing since 1927, based in Sanjo City, Niigata—an area with deep blacksmithing roots. Their Gold Damascus series is a perfect blend of beauty, performance, and affordability. Built with a solid half-tang construction, the blade features a VG-1 (Gold Steel) core wrapped in Damascus cladding, striking a balance between long-lasting sharpness and rust resistance. Thanks to its thinner blade geometry, this series delivers impressive cutting performance without breaking the bank.
Petty knives are a mix between slicing and paring knives known as the ideal blade for most food preparations that require added precision. They feature scalloped edges and blades that are slightly longer than standard paring knives. Heavily used by chefs for their sharp edges, the petty is very efficient for slicing fruits, vegetables, meats or poultry and even mincing garlic, onions and delicate herbs.
