An In Depth Look

Blade Type

The Petty is your smaller knife for delicate work. Think mincing garlic, trimming up chicken thighs or meats, skinning fruit, and just about anything else the Bunka or Gyuto is too large for. It's an essential part of your knife range and we use ours almost daily.

Steel Type Read

VG10 steel, a high-end Japanese stainless steel, is renowned for its superior edge retention and sharpness. Enriched with carbon and chromium, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The addition of cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium enhances its hardness and durability, making VG10 steel ideal for a great everyday workhorse knife steel.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Founded in 1945 and based in Echizen, Fukui, Takamura Hamono is a family-run forge now led by third-generation blacksmith Terukazu Takamura, alongside his two younger brothers. Known for their refined craftsmanship and technical innovation, Takamura Hamono has become synonymous with elegant, high-performance blades.

Early pioneers in the use of powder metallurgy steels, they were among the first to work successfully with Super Gold (SG2), a material prized for its extraordinary hardness and long-lasting edge retention. Their knives are precisely balanced, exceptionally finished, and exhibit a clean, modern aesthetic without compromising the soul of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

Each piece from Takamura Hamono reflects a rare combination of innovation and heritage, offering world-class performance with a quiet, understated beauty.

Love Takamura knives!!

Bought the Petty VG10 for a friend, based on having 2 cromax and one VG10 knives that I use constantly...with respect. They are super sharp from factory and are readily returned to that state after 5-10 min using 1000/3000 grit sharpening stones once every 3-6 months.

This business is loved and appreciated

Amazing products and even better service

Fantastic Knife

Amazing knife. I use it daily and it suits any task (as a petty should). Edge retention is great and is insanely sharp out of the box. With daily use for a month I have yet to sharpen it and have only maintained it with a strop. I highly recommend for both professionals and home cooks.
