Japanese knife PETTY KANETSUNE 12 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 wield half your knife collection for just a few beans, some fruit or a sandwich.

Main advantages:

• KANETSUNE AUS-10 PRO PETTY 120 mm is a compact Japanese all-rounder for times when a large chef's knife is unnecessarily robust and you need precision, lightness and perfect control.
• The 120 mm long blade is excellent for smaller vegetables and fruit, delicate meat slicing, larding and other detailed tasks where the precise guidance of every cut matters.
• When slicing beans, fruit or smaller ingredients, you will especially appreciate the agility of the knife, which moves quickly between cuts without making you feel like you are holding an unnecessarily large tool.
• The rounded profile of the edge allows you to easily use a rocking motion when cutting, so the PETTY can handle not only precise tip cuts, but also faster work on the chopping board.
• Preparing sandwiches is almost second nature for this knife – it easily slices vegetables, meat and other fillings, and thanks to its compact dimensions, it is easy to control during the quick preparation of smaller portions.
• Japanese AUS-10 stainless steel with a hardness of 59-60 HRC allows for a very sharp edge that penetrates ingredients cleanly and helps preserve their neat appearance.
• AUS-10 steel contains 0.95-1.10 % carbon along with molybdenum, vanadium and other alloying elements, thanks to which it combines toughness with high corrosion resistance.
• The asymmetrical 90/10 bevel for right-handers supports exceptional sharpness and easier penetration into the sliced ingredient, so the knife does not require unnecessary pressure when guided correctly.
• The classic Western handle made of Plywood offers a good grip and high wear resistance, so even the small PETTY feels like a fully-fledged utility knife in your hand.
• The full-tang construction runs the blade through the entire handle and, together with three rivets, creates a solid unit that provides confidence during everyday cutting and more precise tasks.
• Weighing just 85 grams, the knife has an exceptionally light and responsive character, which you will appreciate during longer preparation of small ingredients as well as tasks requiring a delicate touch.
• A total length of 235 mm and a 105 mm long handle keep the knife compact, making it comfortable to use even on a smaller chopping board or when preparing a quick snack.
• PETTY is a great partner to a larger GYUTO or SANTOKU – the large knife takes over the heavy-duty work, and this smaller specialist steps in where detail and agility matter.
• KANETSUNE AUS-10 PRO PETTY is suitable for chefs who do not want to pull out a large blade for every onion, strawberry or small piece of meat, but at the same time do not want to compromise on sharpness.
• The knife is made in Japan and belongs to the Kanetsune AUS-10 PRO series, which combines a Japanese edge with a classic Western handle construction familiar to European users.
