The Petty Chef Knife is a little something I like to call an EDK, or Every Day Kitchen knife, because it is the most used knife in the kitchen. This petty chef is specifically designed to be your go-to knife. Not too big and not too small, but it is right in the perfect range that allows for versatility, constant control, and ease of use. This is the knife that you will want to grab nine times out of ten to handle most jobs in your kitchen. The Petty Chef also has a little weight to it that adds to the controllability and helps to get through tough jobs like breaking down chickens and fish. Our standard petty chef knife is made with AEB-L stainless steel for high performance and strong edge retention, with a low amount of required maintenance. The standard model also features either a wood or synthetic handle, but this can be changed or upgraded when purchasing a custom kitchen knife.
