Forged by our skilled friend Nguyên from the Hanoi region of Vietnam, this one-of-a-kind Kiritsuke is a true masterpiece—Model 1 of 1. Designed for both precision and versatility, it embodies the soul of traditional craftsmanship while incorporating modern refinements for an unparalleled cutting experience.

At its core, this blade features 52100 carbon steel, a high-performance material prized for exceptional edge retention, sharpness, and toughness. It’s clad in a striking mix of Damascus and Dark Carbon Kurouchi, creating a stunning contrast between polished patterns and a raw, rugged finish—where function meets artistry.

Beyond aesthetics, this K-Tip Petty is engineered for serious performance. Its progressive geometry allows for advanced precission when slicing and dicing. As with all of Nguyên’s creations, no two knives are ever the same—making this a functional heirloom that bridges tradition and innovation.

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.
