This little knife has big dreams of your kitchen counter. It’s a hand-forged petty knife, a Japanese-inspired utility blade designed for the precise tasks beautifully. With its elegant profile and contoured handle, it feels like an extension of your hand, whether you’re trimming vegetables, slicing fruit, or deboning a chicken.

The blade is a testament to pure function, but the real story is in the handle. Starting with a piece of maple burl, known for its wild, intricate figuring it was stabilized for eternity and dyed a deep, royal purple. Then, it was cast in a rich, purple alumilite resin, creating a seamless, glossy capsule that captures the wood’s organic energy like a gemstone. It’s finished with brass and mosaic pins for a final touch of warm contrast.

While it’s a perfect fit in a professional kitchen, this petty knife is also for the home cook who believes their tools should be as beautiful as the food they create. It’s for the person who reaches for a knife and wants to feel a little spark of joy.
