My standard Petty Chef Design. This one is made in “tougher than nails” 15N20 lumber saw blade steel.

I sourced this material through Jarod Todd. He did the the heat treat on this as well. He has dialed in the treatment and shown some very good results. This steel is punching out of it’s weight class. It takes a fine edge. It is not considered a stainless steel and will readily take a patina. It will rust if not dried after use.

I ground the blade with a significant distal taper, convexed bevels and a thin but strong tip. This petty will handle just about anything you throw at it. It can still slice and dice very well.

The guard is titanium with a micarta frame , g10 pins and stabilized “honey brown” masur birch scales.

This is a great “go to” knife for the kitchen.
