AUS-8 Stainless steel
AUS-8 is a Japanese stainless steel known for its balanced properties, making it a popular choice for kitchen knives. With approximately 0.70-0.75% carbon content, it offers good hardness and edge retention. The addition of 13.00-14.50% chromium provides excellent corrosion resistance, essential for kitchen environments. AUS-8 also contains molybdenum and vanadium, enhancing its toughness and wear resistance. This composition results in knives that are durable, maintain a sharp edge, and are relatively easy to sharpen, making them suitable for both professional chefs and home cooks.

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.
