Sting (Purple Heart Handle)
The term petty knife comes from the French "petit" which aptly describes this new model. Measuring in at 10 inches, with a 5.3-inch blade, Jane is our smallest knife by far.
Many chefs consider the Petty to be one of the most useful knives in their arsenal second only to the Gyuto Chef Knife due to its precision and maneuverability.
Blade:
The blade is made of Swedish Sandvik Stainless Steel which is highly coveted in the knife-making world. It is renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, high hardness, and outstanding edge retention, making it very easy to maintain.
Handle:
This model’s handle features pure Purple Heart - a hardwood native to Central and South America celebrated for its durability and striking natural red wine color. Other available handles include Purple Heart and Olive.
Tang: Hidden
Length (Blade/Full Knife): 5.3in / 10.0in
Thickness: 0.08in
Case: Heavy Duck Canvas
- We use a 2.0mm 14C28N Sandvik for our small and mid-sized knives (Pampa, Noa, Enojito and Sting). The Rockwell hardness from the last test was 62.
- We use a 2.5mm 12C27 Sandvik for our heftier blades (Furia, Pez, Pan, and Chiquito). The Rockwell hardness from the last test was 59.
- All blades are hand-sharpened, but we aim for a sharpening angle of 18 to 19 degrees.
- Hand-wash only. Dry off after washing.
- Do not use on surfaces that are harder than the blade itself.
Made by the Ramo Filos Workshop run by Andres, German, and Joaquin, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. See our video below showing how they make each piece.
