Often called paring or utility knife, the petty knife is made for smaller cutting tasks. An indispensable tool in any knife kit, it excels at cutting herbs, slicing garlic, dicing shallots and even peeling fruit and vegetables. 

The Kumokage line is hand forged by Muneishi Hamono in Tosa, Japan, using a cutting core of Aogami #2 steel, a sought-after steel by knife makers known for edge retention and wear resistance.The name Kumokage is inspired by the beautiful damascus and kurouchifinish on the blade and means 'cloud shadow.' These rustically finished mild steel and iron Damascus clad knives have a solid middle to heavy weight feel yet are thin behind the edge. The octagonal teak handles are durable and comfortable in hand.  

Due to the nature of handcrafting and traditional blacksmithing, each knife is unique and may have some cosmetic distortion or irregularities. This is expected and normal. Because these knives are handcrafted, they do not qualify for warranty services.
