Japanese knife PETTY KANETSUNE 15 cm, Dellinger

Product detailed description

A large chef's knife has its place, but sometimes it resembles a removal van used to transport a single box. KANETSUNE PETTY is a pleasantly nimble alternative for smaller kitchen tasks, where you don't want to brandish half of your knife kit just for a few beans, fruit or a sandwich.

Main advantages:

• Kanetsune AUS-10 PRO PETTY 150 mm is a nimble multi-purpose knife for moments when a large chef's blade gets in the way and you want to keep every cut firmly under control.
• The 150 mm long blade offers more space compared to smaller peeling knives, yet remains agile enough for the precise processing of vegetables, fruit and smaller cuts of meat.
• When slicing green beans, spring onions, fruit or other smaller ingredients, you will especially appreciate the effortless guidance of the blade and the ability to work quickly without an unnecessarily bulky knife.
• PETTY is also well-suited for larding and portioning meat, where its compact dimensions help guide the blade exactly where you need it, without any clumsy movements.
• The rounded profile of the edge allows for a gentle rocking motion during use, meaning the knife is not limited to short, straight cuts and can handle a wider variety of kitchen tasks.
• When preparing sandwiches, you don't need to switch between multiple tools – with a single knife, you can handle vegetables, fruit, meat and other ingredients, making the whole snack prep much quicker.
• Japanese AUS-10 stainless steel with a hardness of 59-60 HRC allows for an extremely sharp edge that penetrates ingredients cleanly and without the need for heavy pressure.
• Steel AUS-10 contains 0.95-1.10% carbon along with molybdenum, vanadium and other alloying elements that promote toughness and high corrosion resistance.
• The asymmetrical 90/10 bevel for right-handed users gives the knife exceptional sharpness and facilitates penetration into the sliced ingredients, so that with proper guidance, the blade cuts effortlessly and convincingly.
• The classic Western handle made of Plywood offers a good grip and high wear resistance, giving the Japanese blade a familiar and practical feel in the hand.
• The full-tang construction runs the blade through the entire handle and, together with three rivets, creates a solid unit that feels stable and secure during daily work.
• Weighing just 100 grams, the knife remains pleasantly light and responsive, reacting quickly to hand movements during delicate tasks without causing fatigue.
• An overall length of 265 mm with handle 105 mm long creates a practical intermediate step between a small peeling knife and a full-sized GYUTO or SANTOKU chef's knife.
• It is precisely the size that makes this PETTY a highly capable companion for quick everyday cooking, when you don't want to pull out a large chef's knife for every tomato quarter.
• The knife is made in Japan by the Kanetsune Seki brand, so behind its understated, functional appearance lies the tradition of one of Japan's most famous knife-making centres.
