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
Steel Type Read

Japanese Blue Steel #2, or "Aogami" #2, is a revered high-carbon steel alloyed with low amounts of chromium and tungsten. It strikes an excellent balance between durability, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. Slightly more ductile than Blue #1, it's widely used in crafting traditional Japanese knives, beloved by chefs for its resilience and sharpness, albeit is slightly softer than Blue 1.

Founded in 1948 by Sone Torasaburo, Tadafusa has long been part of the rich blacksmithing heritage of Sanjo, a city known throughout Japan as the “town of blacksmiths.” Home to other famed makers like Yoshikane, Hinoura, and Kawamura, Sanjo’s legacy of craftsmanship dates back to the 1600s, and Tadafusa has played a key role in carrying that tradition forward.

Originally crafting sickles and bladed tools using time-honoured forging techniques, Tadafusa later focused its expertise on kitchen knives. Today, they produce a wide range of meticulously finished blades for both professional chefs and home cooks alike, combining classic Sanjo craftsmanship with clean, modern utility.

Handmade in Japan and trusted around the world, Tadafusa knives are a reflection of enduring skill, precision, and the soul of Sanjo’s forging legacy.
