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

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

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.

Though not widely known internationally, Shiro Kamo holds a highly respected position among Japan’s knife-making elite. Awarded the prestigious title of Dento-Kogeshi (Master of Traditional Crafts) at just 45, a rare honour shared by only a handful of artisans in the Echizen area, including masters like Takeshi Saji and Katsushige Anryu, Kamo-san’s skill and dedication to traditional craftsmanship are exceptional.

Currently serving as the president of the renowned Takefu Knife Village Cooperative, Kamo-san produces knives admired for their consistently precise grinds, refined blade finishes, and meticulous attention to detail. His expertise with steels, particularly his celebrated heat treatment of R2 stainless steel, ensures blades with phenomenal cutting performance and outstanding edge retention.

So light - so amazing!!

Wow!! This is a wonderful blade. I was taken back a step on first holding it because of it lightness in hand. A combination thin blade and light weight handle materials I suspect. And the balance is truly outstanding!
This is a superbly made petty knife that I just can’t fault. I want another one just so I have two…but that would be kinda silly!!
So it’s onto the next Shiro Kamo Shirogam.
Many thanks to chefs-edge for their commitment in gathering some of the worlds best knives and allowing us all to own them.
Thank you 😊
