Petty Knife (5.3") - Wrought Iron San Mai w/ Maple Burl
The Petty knife is the little all star to any knife collection. Often used similar to a paring knife, it's longer blade lends itself to preparing a wide range of ingredients. Tasks such as butcher a chicken, skinning an orange, slicing garlic, opening a container can be done with ease. The classic combination of a Petty and a Gyuto can accomplish nearly every task thrown at a cook.
The blade on this Nakiri is made with Wrought Iron from a 100+ year old wagon wheel. The wheel was found on a local farm, it had been sitting in their pasture, half buried into the ground. This cladding adds a unique grainy texture along the blade face.

Care information
Care information
The cutting edge is Carbon Steel, so it will rust if not maintained.
Clean with a soft towel and thouroughly dry after use.
Rinse with water or sanitzier after cutting acidic foods such as citrus, tomatoes, or fruit. The acid will discolor the metal.
The handle is of natural wood and should be treating with some consideration.
I recommend Tsubaki Oil to be used with the Blade and Wood, Mineral Oil is an alternative.
Never place in the dishwasher.
