I've been on the search for a good 9-10 cm petty for a long time. Eventually I ended up getting a Shun 9 cm petty knife. It's this one:
This knife feels perfect in the hand. This is very important to me, since I hold the handle fully in the hand when peeling stuf..
However, I don't like the bling-bling damascus on it. My petty should be very basic. And stainless. I know there is one other petty with a very similar profile and handle: the Zwilling Miyabi 9 cm petty made of ZDP-189. Same profile, same handle, and even a better steel. But this knife has even more bling-bling:
I thought there were no real J-knives with a similar profile and such ergonomic handles. However, tonight at a visit to a local shop, I discovered a MCusta knife that meets my wishes quite closely:
It has a comfortable handle. More a wa-handle than a yo-handle. A similar blade profile to the Shun and the Zwilling Miyabi. But still a bit too much bling bling with the damascus on the blade.
Then I saw the next one. Also a MCusta, but now without a damascus blade. Perfect! Only... this is only available at a minimum of 11 cm, whereas for me the max is 10 cm.
So to summarize this story. I am looking for a 9-10 cm petty with a blade profile like the Shun (which is similar to the Mcusta's and the Zwilling myabi). A handle that feel well in the full hand is important. I want no damascus or any other bling. And the steel should be stainless.
Do you know whether any such knives exist?
Thanks!
