The Petty might seem much like a paring knife but in contrast where the paring knife is for jobs off the chopping board, the Petty IS made for work on the board. For small odd-jobs – slicing, cutting and dicing when you feel a chefs knife is a little too unwieldy for the job, or for that quick solo lunch you’re throwing together when you don’t want to dirty up your best chefs knife. The blade is a little longer than the paring knife and crucially, it’s deeper and the geometry includes a steeper angle between the blade edge and the handle allowing clearance for your hand so that it can be used on a chopping board.
The brief for this Petty was simple – ‘Lego’.
This and another with the same handle design – One in Stainless Steel and another in Carbon Steel were ordered as a father and son set for a Christmas. Simple brief but construction was not so simple with the complicated layering and glue up of many pieces of G10.
