6" 160mm Nitro-V stainless steel Ko-Gyuto, tested to 63HRC, in my standard geometry. This knife is THE go-to knife in my kitchen...the ORIGINAL "Tall Petty"...before anyone else was doing them. The only reason I grab ANYTHING else is because I want to play with it. A GREAT general use knife, line knife, petty. It has a 50mm heel height vs the standard 'petty' 35mm, allowing for far greater utility. It will chop like a gyuto, break down protein like a petty, and scoop vegetables like a nakiri. The laserish standard geometry/thickness provides a light weight feel, along with excellent cutting performance. The food release granted by the proprietary geometry is exceptional.

This sale includes one completed knife. You can choose either the pictured Japanese edge profile, or a modified European edge profile (for rock chopping) at no extra charge. The knife comes with my standard geometry handle (faceted diamond, please select in the options) and standard handle material (currently a rather beautiful stabilized silver poplar, you can see examples pictured above, and video on my YouTube under the title 'Stabilized Silver Poplar'). G10/metal/G10 spacers in either a straight or diagonal configuration are also included. Upgraded handle material, and spacer options are available for an additional cost, and can be discussed before starting the knife (please select 'Custom Material' above, and use the 'Contact Me' option on the main page). Payment for material options will be due on completion of the knife, before delivery.
