Description: As you may guess, petty means "small". You'll use these great little knives for detail tasks, just as you would a paring knife. Petty knives generally range from 4 - 5 inches.
Made in Seki, Japan, the Al Mar "Ultra Chef" knife is classic and state of the art in performance. Each blade has 33 individual layers of stainless steel -- 16 layers on each side, plus a central core of VG-10 cobalt stainless steel hardened to Rc 60-62 (very hard!) for a keen, long-lasting edge. In the best tradition of knife making, a steel ferrule is forge-welded to the tang to ensure that food particles cannot become lodged between the tang and the handle. These knives are incredibly strong, light in the hand, well balanced, and extremely sharp. The handles are made from select cocobolo wood, long considered one of the world's most exotic hardwoods. High in natural oils, cocobolo holds up well under heavy kitchen use. Each knife comes individually gift boxed.
