Tsuchime Damascus Petty

This Japanese petty knife is an equivalent to a western style utility knife. It has a double ground edge suitable for right or left handed use. The Tsuchime pattern is a unique Japanese design created by first hand hammering the layered metal and then tempering it with heat, resulting in knives with unique hand hammered patterns that prevent food from sticking to the blade. Perfect knife for peeling, paring and carving fruit, vegetables and herbs.
