The TADAFUSA HOCHO PETTY is a paring knife excellent for tasks that require delicate slicing and a lot of dexterity. This workhorse will always come in handy when you need to slice up small pieces of meats, vegetables, and fruit.
The Petty is a beautiful small knife ideal for slicing and peeling.European style: A decade ago Tadafusa engaged a renowned female industrial designer, Fumie Shibata, to design a European style range for the western market. Hand forged, this range is offered in triple layered blades of rust-resistant SLD steel (HRC of 60) and clad with soft stainless steel. This acts as a blanket and protects the harder steel in the core from breaking or shattering in to pieces. These knives come with a heat treated semi-charcoaled chestnut wood handle designed for moisture and bacteria resistance, and the core steel offers a sharp blade which holds its edge.

The TADAFUSA BOCHO AJIKIRI is a paring knife excellent for tasks that require delicate slicing and a lot of dexterity. This utility knife will always come in handy when you need to slice up small pieces of vegetables, and fruit. At 10.5cm long the blade is shorter but deeper than the Petty with good finger clearance, depending on your personal preference.
The Ajikiri is a small kitchen knife designed for mincing, fine chopping, and peeling.
Japanese style: From the traditional Japanese range of hand forged blue carbon steel knives by Tadafusa, the carbon core of these knives is sandwiched between two layers of blue carbon steel that have been left with a rustic or nashiji (pear skin) finish. This helps prevent food from sticking to the blade when slicing items (and also offers a unique look). The carbon steel blades hold a keen edge and are exceptionally sharp and are deliberately left unfinished as the imperfections reduce suction, allowing food to fall freely from the blade. It also allows the knife to cut with less resistance. The handles are crafted from Magnolia and Bubinga wood and have a plastic ferrule. This wood is moisture resistant and also resistant to bacteria.
