Glestain K Series Petty 140mm (5.5")

Description Glestain knives are instantly recognizable by their distinctive ‘scalloped’ appearance and are renowned for their superior performance. Manufactured with Glestain’s proprietary blend of Acuto steel and put through a sub-zero tempering process, Glestain knives are tough, sharp and hold a great edge. The scalloped ‘dimples’ on the blade prevent food from sticking during prep work and make for fast work chopping.  About this shape Petty knives are small utility or paring knives that are ideal for small, delicate work that a chef’s knife can’t handle such as delicate produce and herbs, small fruits and vegetables.
