Introducing the “Basic Models Petties”
These are the latest expansion of my “Basic Models” line of kitchen knives. These petties have all of the same features as the other knives in my “Basic Models” line and at the same great price point.
While these knives do not feature a neck, the design actually allows for more board clearance than the same design with a neck because this design allow me to move the handle up higher relative to the edge.

180m Low Bevel Bunka 26c3 San-Mai
$50.00A 180mm low bevel bunka in 26c3 san mai.
This 180mm low bevel bunka represents the first forging I performed with my new power hammer and my first shot at forged hollow bevels. Overall it came out well but I’m confident I can get things much thinner with a better set of dies. The blade has been tested and it’s as you would expect with these dimensions, it handles like a workhorse and has excellent food release with no stiction. It does require a little bit more force in denser produce but nothing that feels like work.
- Blade: 183mmx51mm 26c3/mild san-mai (64/65hrc) -stone set bevels + 2500 grit hand finish + finger stone kasumi polish
- Neck: 17mmx16mm
- Handle: Red Zebrawood +walnut, oil finished and waxed
- POB: 38mm from the handle
- Spine: 5.4mm at the handle, 5.2mm above the heel, 2.4mm at halfway, 1.98mm 1cm from the tip
- Grind: full convex low bevel 50/50
- Weight: 200g
- Relieved choil and spine
- Edge: .16mm@1mm, .54mm @2mm, 1.74mm at the shinogi measured at the midpoint,
