The use of Ginsan steel brings an essential innovation to blacksmithing of knives by combining the qualities of high-end steels with the resistivity of stainless steels. Ginsan is sharp like Shirogami steel and yet stout like the stainless steels used for knife surfaces. You will love this composition.

A petty (utility) knife probably gets used most often after your all-purpose knives. It can be used to cut small fruits, vegetables, and even some smaller cuts of meats (and many many more things, like cutting through plastic wrapping from a grocery trip!) If you have one, for a quick meal for two, you may just get it done without a chef's knife.
