TLDR ⓘ - Too long; didn't read - A quick summary that cuts to the chase.
If you want something a little flashy but still with a classic Japanese/Western hybrid design, the Hazaki Pro is for you. Beautiful Damascus stainless steel and a smooth walnut handle make a hell of a combination.

About Hazaki Knives - Hazaki, founded by Samuel Bouchard in Montreal, Canada, combines the best of both worlds: Japanese knifemaking and Canadian woodwork. Blades are expertly forged in Seki, Japan, from high-end Japanese steel and finished with beautiful handles in Montreal by Samuel and his team. Their knife blocks and magnets are expertly handcrafted in Canada from sustainably sourced woods.

I’m a sucker for a pretty blade, and this damascus steel is such a delight. On top of that, the whole line has badass kiritsuke tips and gorgeous dark walnut handles - I’m in love. While a pretty knife never fails to get me inspired in the kitchen, a knife needs to cut as well as it looks. Lucky for you and I, this blade is wicked sharp. Hazaki has used VG10 stainless steel, which keeps a brilliant edge but doesn’t require a ton of maintenance.

Hazaki prefers the natural look and feel of the Canadian wood used in their handles, so they are not sealed. I recommend a light coat of cutting board wax every few months to keep them looking and feeling great!

About the Shape - This is the knife for smaller jobs that are done on a cutting board. Perfect for slicing shallots, cutting herbs, and boning smaller proteins. Additionally, Petty knives are an indispensable tool for those who feel uncomfortable wielding a larger chef knife.

A NOTE ABOUT RUST

Semi-stainless steel is a compromise between the edge retention of carbon steel
and the rust resistance of stainless. This steel will rust if you let it. To avoid “bad” rust (orange rust) Wipe the knife dry with a dry cloth after use. By this we mean: between cutting and putting the knife down, wipe it dry. Overtime the blade will begin to protect itself with an oxide layer (grey to dark grey “good” rust), this will slow the reaction time but not inhibit the rust entirely. Maintain the good habit of drying off your knife.

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End-grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe mineral oil or beeswax.  

• If you see orange rust, remove it. The scrubby side of a sponge can do the trick.  If it’s still not coming off try baking soda and water mixed into a paste or a product called Barkeeper’s Friend.  

STORING  

• Protect the edge; for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or travel case. 

• A convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good-ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected. So can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, keep the edge from touching anything else.

Great little knife

"I love to use this knife! Wicked sharp and nimble for all the small tasks. Love that it has some height for working against."

— Kyler s. (5/5)

My Hazaki Rockies!

"Had choices narrowed down to a Haruyuki petty and this: the Haru won. But after a half hour if the Sunshine festival, I returned and bought this one too. Wife and I use this exclusively to prepare foods such as onions, peppers tomatos, garlic, smaller cuts of meat. It's great. It's cleaned and towel dried after each use. It a good size for our hand, especially hers. I have yet to hone either of the knives so I can't address Sharpening, but I'm happy I went back. I like that its shaped like a mini chefs knife. There may be another purchase down the line, but could stay with these two without regrets."

Great petty knife for a first timer

"This petty knife has been a joy to use. Being a first time owner of a Japanese petty knife I couldn't have been happier. It's so much easier to dice onions and garlic with this knife compared to a larger knife. The handle is quite sleek with a nicer texture as well. Would recommend."

— Tim L. (5/5)
