The Ginrei Series Petty 130mm is one of those knives that quietly becomes your go-to the more you use it. Compact, precise, and easy to control, this size is perfect for detailed prep — trimming proteins, working small vegetables, herbs without ever feeling bulky or overkill.
The blade is forged in Japan using Ginsan (Silver Steel #3) — one of Mike’s favorite steels for both home cooks and pros. For those who know, Ginsan sits right in that sweet spot between performance and practicality. It sharpens easily, takes an incredibly clean edge, holds it well, and stays forgiving when it’s time for maintenance. It’s stainless, but on the stone and on the board, it behaves a lot like a high-end carbon.
Built in a san-mai construction (three-layer forge), the hard Ginsan core is supported by softer outer layers that add toughness, stability, and better resistance to chipping. It’s a construction that actually makes sense for a knife you’ll reach for constantly.
Finished with a soft Nashiji texture, the blade has a subtle, refined look that also helps with food release while hiding fingerprints and light wear. Clean, understated, and very “Japanese” — the kind of finish that looks even better over time.
Kakushin can handle the blade-to-handle assembly for you at our shop. If you're new to the custom knife world and want to confirm the fit and sizing of a handle with a specific blade, feel free to reach out!
