Tokushu Knife Hammertone SLD Hiraki Petty 165mm – Custom Wa Handle

Tokushu Knife Hammertone SLD Hiraki Petty 165mm

This long petty is made for cooks who want more reach than a conventional utility knife without stepping up to a full gyuto. Its narrow 165mm Hiraki profile works especially well for trimming proteins, portioning boneless meat, slicing fruit and shallots, and preparing small fish or shellfish.

The blade is produced for Tokushu Knife by Tadafusa in Sanjo, Japan. The SLD core is stainless-clad and hardened to approximately 62–63 HRC. SLD is a semi-stainless tool steel: it offers strong edge retention and good toughness while being easier to maintain than traditional carbon steel.

A geometric diamond hammertone finish gives the blade its distinctive texture. Choose a custom octagonal wa handle fitted and finished in-house, or select Blade Only for your own handle fitting. Handle options include Amboyna and Horn, Amboyna Horn with Contrast, and Cypress & Buffalo Horn. Select a variant to view its photographs. The Blade Only option is supplied without a handle and requires secure handle fitting before use.

Why choose this knife?

• Versatile 165mm profile: More capable on a cutting board than a short petty, yet slimmer and more precise than a chef knife.
• SLD semi-stainless core: Long-lasting edge retention, good toughness and practical rust resistance.
• Thin working geometry: A fine edge and 50/50 grind suit right- and left-handed cooks.
• In-house handle work: Each custom wa handle is individually fitted by Tokushu Knife.

Care
