The Hatsukokoro Hayabusa VG10 6" Petty Knife is useful when working with smaller surfaces, delicate food items, or for those with smaller hands. Thought of as the knife in between the chef's knife and paring knife, it is a versatile and useful tool in the kitchen. 

The Hatsukokoro Hayabusa VG10 knives feature high carbon VG10 steel that takes and holds a sharp edge, which has a great balance between sharpness and durability. The polished Tsuchime (hammered) finish is both striking and useful, reducing drag and keeping food from sticking. 

The traditional octagonal Japanese Wa handle is made with Wenge wood and has a buffalo horn ferrule. 

Due to the handmade nature of this knife, the colour and pattern of the knife, handle and ferrule may vary from knife to knife.
