The Petty knife is light and thin with a bit of flex to it and is used for peeling, chopping and trimming. Not used in a hammer grip way meaning you don’t chop up and down like a chefs knife due to not having enough clearance for the knuckles. Mostly used for cutting away from the chopping board but is essential for any knife roll and home kitchen. The general size of a petty ranges from 95mm to 150mm but can go up to 180mm but this is considered to be in a slicing categories.

Hyper carbon molybdenum vanadium stainless steel is a high-performance alloy commonly used in premium knives and tools due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and excellent edge retention. Here’s a breakdown of the key components:

Hyper Carbon refers to a high-carbon content in the steel, which enhances its hardness, sharpness, and ability to retain a fine edge. However, excessive carbon may make steel more prone to rust if not counterbalanced by stainless elements. Molybdenum (Mo) Improves corrosion resistance and Enhances strength and toughness, especially under high temperatures. Vanadium (V), Contributes to wear resistance and durability. Promotes the formation of vanadium carbides, which improve the knife’s edge stability and sharpness. Aids in creating a finer grain structure in the steel, making the blade more precise. Stainless Steel Contains chromium (usually 12% or more) to prevent rust and enhance corrosion resistance. his makes the steel easier to maintain compared to traditional carbon steels.
