Hollow grind veld knife

For the Gentle Art of the Kitchen

Picture Grandma in her favourite chair, the fire crackling beside her, a bowl of fresh vegetables in her lap. Her hands move with quiet confidence, the blade gliding effortlessly through carrot and onion alike. This is the Japanese Petty Knife — a small knife with a big heart, made for the most cherished moments in the home.

Blade

• Steel: Damascus of 15N20 and 1070 High Carbon Steel — two complementary steels forge-welded together to create a blade of exceptional beauty and performance
• Layers: 280 layers of hand-forged Damascus — each fold adding strength, flexibility, and the mesmerising flowing pattern that makes every blade truly one of a kind
• Style: Japanese Petty — a nimble, lightweight utility knife perfect for peeling, trimming, and fine vegetable work
• The 15N20 nickel content creates bright, contrasting lines in the Damascus pattern, while the 1070 carbon steel provides a keen, long-lasting edge

A Knife With a Soul

The Damascus pattern on this blade is not just decoration — it is the visible record of the maker's hands, the fire, and the hammer. No two blades are alike. When you hold this knife, you hold something made with intention and care, worthy of being passed from one generation to the next.

Light enough for delicate work. Sharp enough to make every cut effortless. Beautiful enough to treasure forever.
