Specifications

The Tsunehisa nashiji SLD petty is a handcrafted Japanese knife with a core of SLD steel. This semi-stainless steel contains 12% chromium, just under the 13% required for full stainless classification. Hitachi's SLD steel offers good edge retention and adequate toughness. The blade showcases a combination of tsuchime (hammered) and nashiji (pear skin) finishes, creating a distinctive textured surface.

The petty knife is designed for precise, detailed cutting tasks in the kitchen. Its compact size and narrow blade make it ideal for peeling, trimming, and slicing small fruits and vegetables. It also excels at detail work on meats and fish, such as removing silverskin or portioning fillets. The petty's versatility and maneuverability make it a valuable tool for intricate prep work, garnishing, and other tasks requiring a nimble touch.

FAQ

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.

When will out-of-stock items be restocked? We carry limited, rotating stock. Once something sells out, we don't necessarily reorder it right away.
