This is a utility knife designed to be used for various purposes. As an upgrade from their popular DP series, this Petty knife is made of high carbon, high alloy R2/SG2 steel core, heat-treated to 63 HRC, and clad with 13-chrome stainless steel. The harder steel allows the blade to hold its sharpness for longer and the thinner behind-edge enables a sleek cutting performance. Overall, an excellent value for money choice for those who are looking for a step up from Tojiro’s popular DP series.

Care:
Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.
Cutting Surface:
Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.
Sharpening:
We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.
