Kiya 33 layer damascus vg10 petty 120 mm

The petty knife, Japan’s answer to the paring knife, was crafted for precision in intricate tasks. Its compact, sharp blade excels at peeling and trimming. Now popular worldwide, it’s prized for handling delicate cuts with ease.

The 33 Layer Series from Kiya combines traditional Japanese forging with contemporary precision. Each blade is made from a VG10 stainless steel core, enveloped by 33 layers of softer stainless steel that create a distinctive damascus pattern. The result is a knife that offers both sharpness and durability, with a balanced, refined feel in the hand. Made in Japan, the series reflects Kiya’s long-standing commitment to quality tools for everyday use. It comes in a paulownia box.

Known for its refined balance between tradition and utility, Kiya collaborates with skilled smiths and craftsmen across Japan to produce knives and tools that reflect both precision and everyday practicality.
