Nigara STRIX Tsuchime Migaki Petty (office knife) 150 mm
Nigara STRIX Tsuchime Migaki Petty
At the heart of each STRIX knife lies STRIX Powder Steel, one of the hardest stainless steels in the world. This steel can be sharpened to a razor-sharp edge and retains its sharpness exceptionally well thanks to a hardness of 65 HRC. The core is clad in 32 layers of softer stainless steel, forged with a distinctive finish. The subtle hammered dimples in these layers ensure that food sticks less to the blade while cutting, making your work in the kitchen smoother and more enjoyable.
The knife is finished with an octagonal handle made of ebony wood and black buffalo horn. This not only gives the knife a luxurious appearance but also provides perfect balance and a comfortable grip, making it feel like a natural extension of your hand.
The Petty knife – also known as a paring knife – is a small but essential tool in the kitchen. Thanks to its short and agile blade, it is perfect for precision tasks such as peeling and cleaning vegetables and fruit, cutting small ingredients, or removing seeds. Its compact size offers excellent control, making it the ideal knife for tasks where accuracy is key. A true kitchen classic that no household should be without.
