Masamoto ZA18 Stainless Steel 69-Layer Damascus Clad Petty

Handle: Antibacterial Pakkawood Handle

This product comes with a Magnolia wood Saya.

This compact and nimble petty is an essential tool in any chef’s kitchen. Ideal for slicing vegetables and fruits, peeling, and making decorative cuts, its small and slender blade offers exceptional control and agility. Compared to larger knives, the shorter length allows for greater precision and ease of handling — making it especially user-friendly for delicate tasks and comfortable even for those with smaller hands, including female chefs.

The Masamoto Petty is forged with 69 layers of folded Damascus stainless steel around a ZA18 core. ZA18 (HRC around 60-61) offers exceptional sharpness and long-lasting durability. The sharp blade easily grips and smoothly cuts through ingredients.

This beautiful and rust-resistant knife is easy to maintain.

Masamoto ensures that the handle and blade are well-balanced, providing an ideal weight distribution and standard blade shape, making it very easy for the user to apply force while cutting.

For over 150 years, Masamoto has been regarded as the most trustworthy professional kitchen knife brand in Japan. Masamoto continuously refines its kitchen knife techniques and maintains superior product management.

Today, Masamoto offers handcrafted kitchen knives of high quality and stable craftsmanship that other brands cannot easily match. We highly recommend Masamoto knives to you!
