Monosteel Kanto style petty made with a finely finished proprietary stainless steel and imitation mahogony pakka composite wood western handle.

This steel has an excellent blend of edge holding, sharpenability, edge formation, toughness and stainless properties. The handle work is very nice with a great fit and finish and a smoothed heel and spine. The blade face is convex ground for smooth cutting and good release.

These have a strong right hand convex grind (right hand outside face is more convex than right hand inside face) with a 90/10 right hand bias to the finish sharpening.

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Habitual dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.

Twisting, scraping and heavy use as well as use on hard and very dense objects can lead to edge damage. Using a quality wooden cutting board will keep a sharper edge for longer. Materials like glass, ceramic and bamboo should be avoided and will make the edge go dull quickly.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most Japanese knives perform best at a finer finish starting around 4000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Ceramic honing rods are preferred.
