Optional Engraving

*Double-check your name is entered correctly in the "Optional Engraving" section. We accept no responsibility for items incorrectly engraved due to customer error such as typos. Engraved items cannot be returned or refunded.

*To have your name engraved in Japanese, type "JP" and your name's origin/accent after it (EG: "Agethe-JP French"). We'll engrave your name in Katakana (Japanese syllabary used for foreign words) onto the knife. Katakana is based on pronunciation, so if a country of origin is not listed we will go with an American English pronunciation.

*For Kanji requests (Japanese syllabary based off Chinese characters), type KANJI after your name and the name's origin/accent (EG: "Agethe-KANJI French"). We will select Kanji for you based on this.

What is Chromax Steel?

Chromax is a semi-stainless steel engineered at the precise threshold where chromium addition maximizes rust resistance without compromising the razor-sharp cutting performance of carbon steel. Its three-layer clad construction features a Chromax steel core sandwiched between rust-resistant soft stainless steel, delivering the best of both worlds: the edge retention of carbon steel and the durability of stainless.

Why Choose This Knife?

The Chromax Wa-Petty is the perfect choice for those who want carbon-steel-level sharpness in a compact, easy-care package. At 150mm, this nimble knife excels at precision tasks including peeling, trimming, slicing fruit, and any detail work that demands control. Lightweight and responsive, it is an ideal everyday utility knife for home cooks who refuse to compromise on cutting performance.

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.
