Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

10/10

"Incredible knife to have in your kit. You’ll always go to grab it."

— Mia D. (5/5)

The wee chef knife

"Perfect for at home or in tight spots where a chefs knife would be too much. Go to for most little jobs, herbs and most veggies."

— Steve S. (5/5)

Great knife for smaller hands

"Bought for my wife, who has quite small hands, fits really well. Quality and sharpness excellent"

— Jim C. (5/5)

Great knife

"Great knife, I want to use it for everything. The only con is the size, it’s a bit small on the grip. When I’m chopping my knuckles hit the board. As I understand, this is consistent with pettys."

— Skyler L. (4/5)

Extremely happy with this product.

"Extremely happy with this product. Very light weight and comfortable to hold. Super sharp out of the box and well worth the money."

— Kaitlyn M. (5/5)

Extraordinary value!

"Very light weight and comfortable to hold. Super sharp out of the box and well worth the money. I did 3 passes with my white ceramic rod(that you get 50% off if you buy a knife.) and it became razor sharp. 3 passes on my leather strop and we are talking about lazor quality. It may not hold an edge like super steals but Aus 8 is mighty fine steel, super fun to use and easy sharpen. Want something super sharp and easy to maintain for a crazy good price get this knife! I'm sure the rest of the line is crazy good too. There is a reason it's called the dark horse!"

— Richard (5/5)

Seki Kanetsugu Pro-M Petty 130mm
