Petty 100mm with Bog Oak & Brass Bolster Handle

€251,69

Often Petty are produced with a 150mm blade length, but this little scalpel has been produced with a nimble 100mm length and it feels perfect for handheld detail work. Tasks like cleaning vegetable and other detailed work.

Hand-forged in 1.2419.05 tungsten carbon steel, a tough and durable option that increases wear resistance (ie. stays sharp longer) while maintaining all the characteristics carbon steel is known for (thin, toothy edge, high hardness, beautiful patina). At 63HRC the blade takes on an amazingly sharp edge and is set at 20/20 out of the box, be careful!

Oliver has created a trademark design that is uniquely his and features on all of his knives. Although, his design does evolve over time, it is consistent except for handle materials and occasional variations in the detail work he adds to the blade.

The handle is a beautiful, faceted design, with natural straight lines and curves. It feels ergonomic and comfortable and has a lovely glassy matte finish, which feels and looks amazing! This handle is shaped in a piece of rich, dark stabilised bog oak and paired with a brass bolster. The combination is elegant and subtle!

The blade is finished with a unique nashiji style pattern, which pairs beautifully with the handle and gives the blade a comfortable gripy texture, perfect for a pinch grip.

Oliver's knives are thoughtfully designed, featuring beautiful looks, rich and tasteful materials, and a performance first mentality. We have loved using his knives in the Modern Cooking kitchen and whole heartedly believe you will too.

Product Care:

Cleaning: Clean by hand with warm water. Avoid wetting the handle when possible. 

Sharpening: We advise using whetstones to sharpen your knives and a honing rod or steel to maintain the burr between sharpening sessions. 

Reactive Steels: Reactive steels like Aogami Super, Apex Ultra or one of the many premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. In this case we advise that you keep the knife dry between uses and when storing the knife for longer periods wiping the knife blade with Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil is a wise choice. This will not stop a patina forming on the blade, but it will stop rust. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming. So, dry your knife regularly between uses, store in a dry place and apply some Tsubaki oil from time to time when storing for long periods.

Handle Care: If you have a knife with a non-stabilised wooden handle, you can apply Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil to your handle from time to time. Food safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and no-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
