Forging in Echizen as part of the renowned Takefu Knife Village, Saji has built an international reputation for creating knives that blend traditional Japanese forging techniques with bold, expressive finishes. Every blade reflects decades of experience, resulting in a knife that is as visually distinctive as it is enjoyable to use.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"468\" data-end=\"1089\"\u003eDelivered as a bare blade exclusively for custom assembly, this Petty gives you the freedom to create a knife that is uniquely yours by selecting the handle that best matches your preferences. At its heart is a VG10 stainless steel core, hardened to approximately 60–61 HRC, offering excellent edge retention, reliable toughness, and outstanding corrosion resistance. Its 150mm length makes it one of the most versatile utility knives in the kitchen—large enough for slicing fruit, trimming proteins, and preparing vegetables, yet compact enough for detailed tasks where a larger chef's knife can feel cumbersome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1091\" data-end=\"1600\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe blade is finished with Saji's signature Kuroshiage treatment, preserving the dark forged surface that gives each knife its own unique character. The rugged texture celebrates the handmade nature of the blade while also helping reduce food adhesion during use. Combined with a thin, efficient grind and excellent balance, this Petty offers precise control, effortless cutting performance, and the unmistakable personality that has made Takeshi Saji's work admired by knife enthusiasts around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full dark markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eKakushin can handle the blade-to-handle assembly for you at our shop.
