Description
The Spyderco Itamae Petty Paring SCK15GPBNBK is a high-quality, Japanese-made kitchen knife that is perfect for detailed food preparation tasks. The blade is made from laminated steel, which is composed of an Aogami Super Blue core clad between layers of SUS410 stainless steel. This construction results in a blade that is extremely hard and durable, while the "Carter Elbow" taper from the spine to the point reinforces the blade's tip. The handle is made from beautiful burl G10 and is highlighted with black G10 ferrule.
From the French petit meaning "small," the Petty knife is the equivalent of a Western paring knife and is ideal for peeling and slicing fruits and vegetables, making garnishes, and other detailed food-preparation tasks.
