The most versatile and essential of all knives a cook can have is a Japanese chefs knife referred to as a Gyuto knife. The Gyuto is a Japanese chefs knife with a curved blade that smoothly rocks backward and forward and has an extended tip for quick chopping that can be utilized to cut meat, fish, and vegetables.
Also known as a utility knife, the Petty is a smaller version of a chefs knife but is bigger than a Paring knife. The Petty fits in small places that require more dexterity than bigger chefs knives at the same time as handling bigger jobs than a Paring knife can care for. The Petty will soon turn into the go to knife in your kitchen.
These knives are complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Maintain that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade.
Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing will have to be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.
