The Takeda 3 Layer Mini Petty 120mm is a handcrafted Japanese utility knife forged by Shosui Takeda, one of Japan’s most celebrated master blacksmiths. Based in Niimi, Okayama, Takeda is a third-generation blacksmith renowned for producing exceptionally thin, high-performance blades using traditional forging techniques. Every knife is individually handcrafted by Takeda and his small team, making each piece truly unique.
Compact, agile and exceptionally precise, the 120mm Mini Petty is ideal for peeling, trimming, garnishing and intricate preparation work. Its ultra-thin blade glides effortlessly through fruit, vegetables, herbs and smaller ingredients, offering outstanding control for detailed kitchen tasks.
At the heart of the blade is Aogami Super Steel, one of Japan’s highest-performing high-carbon steels, renowned for its exceptional edge retention, toughness and ease of sharpening. Hardened to approximately 64 ±1 HRC, the blade delivers remarkable cutting performance while maintaining a razor-sharp edge for extended periods. The hard Aogami Super core is protected by a 3-layer stainless steel clad construction, reducing maintenance while preserving the superior performance of high-carbon steel.
Finished with a traditional Kurouchi (black forged) finish, the blade has a distinctive handcrafted appearance while offering added protection against oxidation. Its 50/50 double bevel edge makes it equally suitable for both right and left-handed users.
The knife is fitted with an elegant octagonal maple wood handle with an ebony bolster, providing excellent balance, comfort and control. As a natural material, each handle displays unique variations in colour and grain, making every knife one of a kind.
Combining legendary Japanese craftsmanship with premium materials, the Takeda 3 Layer Mini Petty 120mm is an exceptional knife for chefs and home cooks seeking precision, versatility and uncompromising cutting performance.
