140mm Signature Stainless Petty
Compact, precise and incredibly versatile, this 140mm Petty is part of my Signature range — handmade from start to finish in my Essex workshop.
The blade is crafted from 10C28Mo2 stainless steel, heat treated to 61 HRC for an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness and ease of maintenance. Its 140mm profile makes it an ideal everyday kitchen knife, sitting neatly between a paring knife and a full-sized chef’s knife. Perfect for fruit and vegetables, trimming meat and fish, fine prep and those smaller jobs where a larger blade simply feels cumbersome.
The handle combines Stabilised Spalted Beech, Tufnol and 304 stainless steel, bringing together natural character with durable, hard-wearing materials. The figuring of the spalted beech ensures every handle is completely unique, while the contrasting Tufnol and stainless detailing give the knife a clean, contemporary finish.
Ground thin for precise, effortless cutting and carefully finished by hand, this is a small knife designed to earn a permanent place on the chopping board.
