ZDP-189
ZDP-189, a ‘super steel’ developed by Hitachi Metals Ltd., was created as a competitor to Cowry X. With a chemical composition akin to Cowry X, it delivers comparable performance. However, its production poses challenges, necessitating special forging and heat-treatment processes. Consequently, knives utilizing ZDP-189 steel tend to be pricey and uncommon.
ZDP-189 is a semi-stainless steel that will build a patina over time. It is extremely hard, which means it holds its edge for very long periods. Due to its hardness, the steel can be delicate. Use the knife with the correct cutting technique, and don’t chop through hard products like bones, frozen foods, cartilage, etc. Wash and dry the knife immediately after use.

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.
