Almost Famous - 6in (150mm) Petty Culinary Knife Stainless Steel

“Almost Famous” 6 inch (150mm) petty blade knife. Suspended in the wa-style polyurethane resin of this handle is gold leaf flake from top to bottom. The suspension opens up at the butt to reveal the ornate detail of the constituent flakes. Toward the very top of the handle, the gold leaf remains but is covered in a dark resin. This knife is almost all gold. The perfect partner on the way to culinary stardom.

The blade is made from molybdenum vanadium [stainless] steel, which is a mid-grade stainless steel hardened to HRC 57. Nothing fancy, but gets the job done, won’t rust, and easy to sharpen. You won't have to baby this knife. The edge angle is sharpened to 15 degrees and stropped for a razor sharp edge. Full flat grind (tapers from spine to cutting edge). The blade is 6” (150 mm) long, 1.122” (29.5 mm) tall, & 0.073” (1.85 mm) thick at the spine with a distal taper (gets thinner as it goes to the tip). The total length of the knife is 10.7” (272 mm).
