Blending Japanese sharpness with Western durability, this handmade utility knife delivers exceptional control for everything from quick vegetable trimming to delicate, intricate cuts. With its compact size and signature reverse Tanto (K tip) profile, the Bunka Petty offers accuracy that larger knives simply can’t match. Forged from premium Japanese 440C stainless steel, the blade contains twice as much carbon as many high end steels, giving it superior hardness, edge retention, and razor sharp cutting power. Heat treated to HRC 60 ± 1, it stays sharp cut after cut while resisting rust and wear. Each knife is handmade by skilled artisans through a multi step crafting process to ensure flawless geometry, balance, and long lasting performance. The hand hammered Tsuchime finish adds not only a beautiful artisanal touch, but also reduces friction so ingredients release cleanly from the blade - ideal for smooth, uninterrupted slicing. The knife’s hidden full tang provides structural strength and perfect balance from tip to handle. A hand polished ebony wood handle ensures a secure, comfortable grip, even with wet hands, making it an excellent choice for both home cooks and professionals working long hours in the kitchen. Compact yet powerful, the Bunka Petty’s mid sized blade is long enough for serious prep tasks but more agile than a full chef’s knife, making it ideal for precision work, garnishes, herbs, trimming, and everyday cutting. This combination of maneuverability, strength, and sharpness makes it the knife you’ll reach for again and again. Every knife comes packaged with a natural bamboo Saya (sheath) for blade protection and a sustainably grown bamboo storage box, making it both gift ready and safely stored between uses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\"}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"KOTAI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42668895469639,"sku":"B09V8DBQFN_MULTI","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/7615\/0855\/files\/61ngpTlleQL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1779910584","url":"https:\/\/kitchenbladehouse.com\/products\/kotai-bunka-petty-utility-kitchen-knife-5-5-inch-blade-ultra-sharp-440c-japanese-stainless-steel-hand-hammered-tsuchime-finish-ebony-wood-handle-full-hidden-tang","provider":"All Kitchen Knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
