Kikuichi Ginsan Sanmai Petty - 5" (135 mm)
The Ginsan Petty or utility knife is a small versatile knife, great for peeling vegetables and fruits.
The GW Petty is a perfect example of the Japanese design philosophy shibui, a balance of simplicity and complexity. While the GW series is not adorned with decorative elements such as hand-hammered tsuchime or a Damascus finish, a simple elegance creates a powerful appearance. The 3-layer blade with a Ginsan (silver-3) core is thin, strong, and precise; and the octagonal walnut handle provides a comfortable grip. Water buffalo horn ferrule.
This is a short knife shaped similar to a gyuto, designed to perform small cutting tasks and precision work.
Hand engraved with the Kikuichi chrysanthemum logo.
Double bevel blade with a 50:50 bevel angle.
Product of Japan.
