ATS Steel

ATS-34 is a high-carbon stainless steel developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, renowned for its exceptional edge retention and durability. With a carbon content of approximately 1.05% and 14% chromium, it offers a balanced combination of hardness and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for kitchen knives. The steel’s fine grain structure allows for a sharp, long-lasting edge, while its toughness ensures resistance to chipping during regular use. However, due to its hardness, sharpening ATS-34 blades may require more effort compared to softer steels. Overall, ATS-34 is a preferred choice for high-performance Japanese kitchen knives, providing a reliable and enduring cutting experience

Petty

Petty (Paring/Utility) Knife (ぺティ – pronounced: Petti Naifu). It is said to be derived from French ‘petit’ meaning small or little. The Petty Knife is seen as a small Gyuto making it purposeful for any use in the kitchen.

The petty knife is perfect for smaller working surfaces, cutting smaller sized produce if for users with smaller hands. Its comparison to the Gyuto makes it the ultimate small-sized all-rounder and professional cooks prefer it for its compact size and versatility. It can be used to peel, slice, dice, mince and trim a variety of smaller fruits, vegetables, herbs, garnishes and proteins. It is perfect for light butcher work and delicate tasks such as making precision cuts. The blade profile is well suited for thrust-cutting while the belly allows for rock-cutting.

The Petty knife is generally larger than a Western petty knife. Similar to the Gytuo the Petty knife’s heel to belly is quite flat with a rounded profile to the tip. The sharp, double-bevel edge makes this knife ambidextrous and is the perfect companion in a small kitchen with limited workspace or for users with smaller hands.
