Petty Chef LS155
Just the right size for any hand, at any cutting board, in any kitchen, this special-edition petty chef knife is the cook's utility blade for every cut. Beautifully styled in a combination of stainless damascus steel, polished brass, leather, and micarta, Florentine Kitchen Knives of Barcelona delivers form and function in one.
A slim, pointed tip for slicing and detail work, lying 155mm from the handle, allows for precise and delicate cuts. A hard, sharp edge beneath polished bevels and blackened, textured flats make the blade dynamic and versatile; tall and tough enough for big cuts, and compact enough to work in tight spaces. The elegant handle is sculpted from alternating discs of black leather and micarta, capped by solid brass. Included with each piece of his limited offering is a saya with red velvet interior.
