At that time, many people thought it was impossible to make stainless steel knives with great sharpness and cutting performance. The experienced Kagayaki Craftsman Team challenged themselves to create a stainless-steel knife with a hardness level and cutting performance similar to a high carbon steel knife. They discovered VG-1 stainless steel, which has a relatively high carbon content, could offer hardness, cutting performance and sharpness that was similar to a carbon steel knife. At that time, creating stainless Mono-Steel knives with a high Rockwell hardness and high cutting performance was a great technological achievement. However, the craftsmen had to spend a lot of time and energy researching and testing how to make high quality, practical stainless-steel knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor over 40 years, the experienced Kagayaki Craftsman Team has concentrated on making Mono-Steel blades with the use of traditional blade crafting techniques, including Mizu-To (Whetstone Grinding and Sharpening) and Hizumi-Tori (Blade straightening). These well preserved traditional handcrafting processes are essential when making practical, high-quality, Mono-Steel knives, which can be particularly difficult to grind and sharpen. The Kagayaki Craftsman Team is proud to preserve their traditional handcrafting methods and use this great Japanese steel to make these Mono-Steel knife blades. They believe the combination of steel, knife construction and expert craftsmanship produces the most practical, cost-effective knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\",\"42816523763783\":\"\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Item\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\\\"about-this-item\\\"\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Ultimate Petty Knife - No kitchen is complete without the proper tools, and a petty knife is an essential piece of cutlery; Treat yourself or someone you love to one of the very best cooking knives available, and experience a true masterpiece of craftsmanship\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePrecision Kitchen Knife - A mainstay of professional Western kitchens, the Petty knife is a small general-purpose knife used for peeling, shaping, and slicing fruits and vegetables, chopping herbs, and making garnishes; Its compact size and relatively narrow blade make it very nimble and precise\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh Quality Standard - Passionate experienced craftsman team with over 40 years of knife making experience and skills are fully applied for each single pieces of our kitchen knife.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUnrivaled Quality - The V-Gold No.1 Japanese High Carbon Stainless Steel blade of this chef knife is meticulously hand sharpened and hand finished; The smooth pakkawood handles will fit your hand comfortably; In terms of quality control and cutting performance, this knife is a work of art\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuperior Japanese Craftsmanship - Kagayaki Western style knives are produced by JCK Original in collaboration with Japan’s top craftsmen, ensuring beauty, durability, and value\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable class=\\\"product-overview\\\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eHigh Carbon Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eJCK ORIGINAL\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePakkawood\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eBlade Edge\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePetty Knife\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003eProduct description\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cimg src=\\\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/80e278e5-1774-45b4-9444-57e82fc92c3e.__CR0,0,970,600_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\\\" class=\\\"aplus-img\\\" style=\\\"max-width:100%;height:auto;display:block;margin:0!important;padding:0!important;border:0;vertical-align:top;line-height:0;font-size:0;\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" \/\u003e\u003cp\u003eExperience the joy of beauty, craftsmanship, and value by owning our JCK Original Kagayaki knives, the pinnacle of Japanese Yo-Bocho.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking closely with a special selection of Japan’s most talented and experienced blade smiths and artisans, we have steadily built up both the quality and affordability of the Kagayaki western style knives produced by JCK Original.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJCK is located in Seki City, the Japanese cutlery capital.

At that time, many people thought it was impossible to make stainless steel knives with great sharpness and cutting performance. The experienced Kagayaki Craftsman Team challenged themselves to create a stainless-steel knife with a hardness level and cutting performance similar to a high carbon steel knife. They discovered VG-1 stainless steel, which has a relatively high carbon content, could offer hardness, cutting performance and sharpness that was similar to a carbon steel knife. At that time, creating stainless Mono-Steel knives with a high Rockwell hardness and high cutting performance was a great technological achievement. However, the craftsmen had to spend a lot of time and energy researching and testing how to make high quality, practical stainless-steel knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor over 40 years, the experienced Kagayaki Craftsman Team has concentrated on making Mono-Steel blades with the use of traditional blade crafting techniques, including Mizu-To (Whetstone Grinding and Sharpening) and Hizumi-Tori (Blade straightening). These well preserved traditional handcrafting processes are essential when making practical, high-quality, Mono-Steel knives, which can be particularly difficult to grind and sharpen. The Kagayaki Craftsman Team is proud to preserve their traditional handcrafting methods and use this great Japanese steel to make these Mono-Steel knife blades. They believe the combination of steel, knife construction and expert craftsmanship produces the most practical, cost-effective knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\"}\u003c\/script\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/json\" id=\"variant-gallery-data\"\u003e{\"42816523731015\":[\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71T4blLUXKL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\",\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/81Zg++JWd1L._AC_SL1500_.jpg\",\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/915hx7NgKAL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\",\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/91x63z1FE1L._AC_SL1500_.jpg\",\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/81UvJABWPhL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\",\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/91om6OYdmBL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\",\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71yMRCkGxEL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\"],\"42816523763783\":[\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71T4blLUXKL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\",\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/81Zg++JWd1L._AC_SL1500_.jpg\",\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/915hx7NgKAL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\",\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/91x63z1FE1L._AC_SL1500_.jpg\",\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/81UvJABWPhL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\",\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/91om6OYdmBL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\",\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71vcNU6yFQL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\"]}\u003c\/script\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/json\" id=\"v-option-variant-map\"\u003e{\"4.7\\\"\":\"42816523731015\",\"5.9\\\"\":\"42816523763783\"}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"JCK ORIGINAL","offers":[{"title":"4.7\"","offer_id":42816523731015,"sku":"B086LGV6VB_MULTI","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5.9\"","offer_id":42816523763783,"sku":"B086LFY9FX_MULTI","price":124.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/7615\/0855\/files\/71T4blLUXKL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1779762196","url":"https:\/\/kitchenbladehouse.com\/products\/kagayaki-petty-knife-150mm-5-9-vg-1-japanese-stainless-steel-pakka-wood-handle","provider":"All Kitchen Knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
