Wa-Petty - AYA Series : VG10 Stainless Steel with Damascus Pattern
The series name “Aya” is inspired by the beauty of the Damascus pattern. In Japanese, Aya describes patterned silk fabric or the raised texture of woven cloth, a meaning that echoes the blade’s refined elegance.
The blade is crafted from VG10 stainless steel, which combines long-lasting sharpness with ease of sharpening, while also offering excellent rust resistance and simple maintenance.
With its 130mm blade, the petty knife offers excellent maneuverability and ease of use, making it ideal for peeling and slicing fruits, vegetables, and other small ingredients.
Note: This knife has a blade length of 130mm and is not compatible with a 120mm saya. If you need a saya, please select a 150mm wooden or leather saya.

A knife store that has supported the history of knives and food culture in Japan.
It has been 600 years since the birth of swordmaking in the Sakai region of Japan. Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide's and it's craftsmen continue to build on that legacy by producing the finest blades in Japan.
This is where the culture of completing a dish of sashimi by "just cutting" and the culture of expressing sharpness as "taste" was born.
For 70 years, we have been connecting the spirit of Sakai's craftsmen with the passion of chefs in Osaka's kitchen equipment shopping district, known as the kitchen of Japan.
We are very happy that our knives can be used by people all over the world.
