Sakai Kikumori - NDH Petty 135mm
With is stainless cladding and core steel made from AUS 10 (a top quality stainless steel with good sharpen-ability) the NDH is a great range for those looking to use handmade Japanese knives but prefer not to have the responsibility caring for carbon steel. As is typical of handmade Japanese knives it's ground to be thin behind the cutting edge, ensuring a smooth and easy cut.
In addition to providing aesthetic appeal the hammered (Tsuchime) Damascus cladding also provides greatly improved food release, particularly useful when slicing vegetables.
The petty is a knife hovers around the size of something equivalent to a western paring/ utility knife. Essentially it’s a nice, nimble, small knife which is an invaluable addition to anyones knife roll, truly versatile and more than capable of taking on detailed tasks whilst also up to peeling, finely slicing garlic and even tackling smaller fruit and veg. After the chef knife they’re the most useful knife in the kitchen.
Finished to an excellent standard they would make a great choice for keen home cooks or professionals working within the industry.
