The Shun Blue Steel 5.5 inch Petty knife is a combination of a utility knife and a paring knife. It's a good choice for a variety of cutting or basic paring tasks. We like its flexibility and, of course, its serious sharpness!

Normally, carbon steel, or blue steel,blades are very time-consuming to maintain. Blue Steel knives from Shun are easy to maintain because the carbon steel in Shun Blue is completely covered by 2 layers of rust-resistant stainless steel. Caring for Shun Blue as you would any other high quality Shun knife.
The Blue Steel Petty knife from Shun is hand crafted in Japan of Japanese carbon steel. As with all Shun knives, Blue Steel has a lifetime warranty and free lifetime sharpening.

You'll so appreciate Shun blue steel 5.5 inch petty knife.

    • MetroKitchen.com recommends washing your knives by hand and immediately drying them. Do not let your knives soak in water.
    • Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts, as they may stain the surface of your knives.
    • For longer lasting knives, cut on a wooden cutting board. Cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass quickly dulls blades.
    • To maintain a sharper cutting edge, use a sharpening steel, preferably each time after using your knives.
    • It's best to store your Shun knife so the edge and your fingers are protected, preferably in a block or in-drawer knife tray.
    • We suggest using a meat cleaver when you need to cut through bone, otherwise you can damage your knife blade.
    • Shun knives don't need frequent sharpening because they are made from 32 extremely durable layers of stainless steel.
