About the knife type: Petty (utility knife)

A petty is smaller than a chef's knife and has a narrow, pointed blade. It is easy to control when you slice, peel and trim fruit, vegetables and smaller pieces of meat and fish. It also minces onion and garlic well.

About the steel: Chromax

Chromax is developed specifically for kitchen knives, and is very hard. Such a hard metal gives the knife very good wear resistance. Chromax is much less prone to oxidation than carbon steel, and so stays sharp longer. If the knife is exposed to acid, a 'patina' will form on the knife.

Care: needs a little attention

Care and maintenance

Wash by hand in warm water, and dry it straight away.

Never the dishwasher. Use a cutting board of wood or plastic, not glass or stone.
