Japanese Craftsmanship from Seto
Seto, Japan is renowned for its long history of blade making and knife craftsmanship. Japanese bladesmiths and knife artisans have developed generations of specialized techniques for forging, shaping, sharpening, and finishing high-quality blades.

33-Layer Damascus VG-10 Blade
At the heart of this petty knife is a forged VG-10 stainless steel core surrounded by 33 layers of Damascus steel. VG-10 is widely valued for its combination of hardness, corrosion resistance, edge retention, and sharpening performance.
The layered Damascus construction also creates the distinctive flowing pattern across the blade, giving the knife a traditional Japanese appearance while complementing its practical kitchen performance.
Compact Precision for the Kitchen
