{"product_id":"mini-petit-110mm-4-3","title":"Mini petit 110mm (4.3\")","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe petty knife is an essential tool in any kitchen, offering precision and versatility for smaller, more delicate tasks. It serves as a compact, agile counterpart to the Gyuto, making it perfect for peeling, trimming, slicing fruit, and handling intricate cutting work that requires control and accuracy. Whether you’re deveining shrimp, mincing garlic, or making precise cuts on smaller ingredients, the Petty knife is the ideal choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCompared to larger knives, the petty knife is lightweight and easy to maneuver, allowing for effortless handling and precision. While Western kitchens often rely on paring knives for similar tasks, the Petty’s slightly longer and narrower blade provides better reach and versatility. It can be used for both in-hand peeling and cutting on a board, making it a must-have for any chef who values efficiency and fine detail in their prep work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith its razor-sharp edge and nimble design, the petty knife bridges the gap between a paring knife and a Gyuto, ensuring that no task is too small for precision cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Takeda Hamono NAS Aogami Super range is forged from Aogami Super Blue Super carbon steel, one of the highest performing traditional Japanese knife steels, manufactured using advanced alloying with high levels of carbon, tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, and vanadium. The high carbon content allows the blades to achieve exceptional hardness, typically around 62–64 HRC, delivering outstanding edge retention and the ability to take an extremely fine, razor sharp edge. Tungsten and vanadium contribute to the formation of hard carbides, improving wear resistance and cutting longevity, while molybdenum enhances toughness and stability during heat treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach blade is traditionally hand-forged by Shosui Takeda using san mai construction, with a hard Aogami Super core protected by softer cladding layers to balance cutting performance, durability, and strength. The NAS range is renowned among professional chefs for its exceptional sharpness, unique forged finish, and the combination of advanced metallurgy with centuries old Japanese blacksmithing techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 67\u003c\/span\u003eg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-single_line_text_field\"\u003eWa handle -\u003cspan\u003e Magnolia wood, Buffalo horn ferrule\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e115mm (4.5\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 110\u003c\/span\u003emm (4.3\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 35\u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness at spine:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1.5\u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness at tip:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e0.3mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDouble 50\/50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAogami Super (Blue Super) (Carbon steel)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness (Rockwell scale):\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e63 - 64\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takeda NAS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57859216146815,"sku":null,"price":360.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/0646\/7124\/files\/IMG_5121.heic?v=1782740147","url":"https:\/\/knivesforchefs.co.uk\/products\/mini-petit-110mm-4-3","provider":"Knives for Chefs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
