Trade in petty in good condition without original packaging. This stainless steel petty is apart of the FJ series that we consider to be of the best heat treatments of VG10 in the price point. A thin convex blade allows for smooth cutting with a sharpenable edge. This edge required some additional material removal to pass a small pit but it still retains the majority of it's blade height. Comes with fresh BC edge.

Original Listing:

Hand ground VG10 mono steel with a nice taper and convex hamaguri grind. This fine grind makes for smooth cutting and excellent food release with a long edge life and excellent stainless property. VG10 can be more work to sharpen as they get sharpened down but that will take quite some time as the thin convex grind keeps the blade thin as it gets sharpened in. 

Octagonal ho wood handles are lightweight, offer a secure grip and are naturally rot and mildew resistant.

Excellent quality grinding and finish on these, possibly some of the best in their price range and the heat treatment on this VG10 stainless is one of the best, we have sharpened these for many years and can say with full confidence it rivals much more expensive prestigious Japanese monosteel brands.

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.
