HOCHO PETTY - European Style

The TADAFUSA HOCHO PETTY is a paring knife excellent for tasks that require delicate slicing and a lot of dexterity. This workhorse will always come in handy when you need to slice up small pieces of meats, vegetables, and fruit.

The Petty is a beautiful small knife ideal for slicing and peeling.

European style: A decade ago Tadafusa engaged a renowned female industrial designer, Fumie Shibata, to design a European style range for the western market. Hand forged, this range is offered in triple layered blades of rust resistant SLD steel (HRC of 60) and clad with soft stainless steel. This acts as a blanket and protects the harder steel in the core from breaking or shattering into pieces. These knives come with a heat treated semi-charcoaled chestnut wood handle designed for moisture and bacteria resistance, and the core steel offers a sharp blade which holds its edge.
