Overview
Trimming, peeling and slicing small items is the job of this Enso petty knife, a handcrafted blade with an SG2 steel core wrapped in layered stainless Damascus and a black canvas Micarta handle.
Reason to buy is the construction: a hard core, a layered wrap and a Micarta handle, made in Seki. The limitation is a short blade and a missing edge angle, which leaves sharpening choices to the owner.
Who it's for
Enthusiasts who do careful prep work and value handmade Japanese knives will like the short, light petty. Cooks who want a chef sized knife, or who are hard on edges, should choose something thicker.
Pros and cons
- Very hard SG2 core

Performance notes
A hard core steel holds a fine edge for a long time, and the layered cladding around it adds a visible pattern. The light weight and short length give precise control for peeling and trimming. The canvas Micarta handle adds a textured grip.
