Sakai Takayuki Grand Chef Japanese Chef's Petty Knife 120mm (10004)

The Sakai Takayuki company traces its roots to sword making in Sakai, Japan, nearly 600 years ago. The current version of the company was established in 1946 and has since become one of the largest manufacturers of Japanese knives in the world, with products spanning the entire range of kitchen cutlery. In 1982, Takayuki received the high honor of having their knives designated as Traditional Arts and Crafts.

This petty is made from the highly regarded Bohler N690 stainless steel. The iron used to make this alloy is excavated from the Bohler-Uddeholm company mines and carries an extremely low phosphorus and sulfur content, resulting in a steel regarded as one of the finest in the world. N690 offers exceptional sharpness alongside abrasion and corrosion resistance that holds up over years of service. Petty knives fill many roles in the kitchen - small chef knife, mini slicer, detail or paring knife, or poultry boning knife - and this 150mm version is a perfect example of the style, representing outstanding value.

Care Instructions: Bohler N690 is a fully stainless steel - hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher. Sharpen on quality water stones and strop regularly between sharpenings.
