San Mai Petty with Ash & Green Ocean plastic handle.

€290.00
sold out

The blade of this Petty knife is made of multiple layers of different steels. Known as San Mai, it is formed by forge welding contrasting layers of steel together under immense pressure and heat. In this case, a cutting core of Shirogami #2 high carbon steel is sandwiched between layers of  non-hardening stainless steel. This allows for a very hard cutting core, protected on either side by a softer jacket. As the blade was ground and polished, the cutting core was revealed. The upper flats have been left with a Brut de Forge finish to celebrate how the knife was made.

The handle is made of wind felled Ash from Co. Carlow, Atlantic Ocean plastic from the Flaggy Shore in Co. Clare, brass, and sterling silver. It is octagonal, and tapers out towards the butt.

This knife is great for all of those small jobs around the kitchen.

Blade length: 100mm

Overall length: 205mm

Weight: 63g

Balance point: At the silver pin.

It is important to mention that carbon steel blades require a little more care and maintenance than stainless steel, but you will be rewarded with a rich patina that will illustrate the knife’s history with you over a lifetime of use. Each knife comes with instructions on how to look after it.
