This **Due Cigni Hakucho petty** is the Japanese version of the paring knife. Petty might mean inferior. This knife most certainly isn’t. Because of its slim shape you can use this knife to peel vegetables and fruit or for the smaller cutting jobs in the kitchen. As such it is not that surprising that many professional chef’s use this knife on a daily basis. Do make sure you don’t pry or chop with this knife. As with every good Japanese knife the right cutting technique is key.
## Due Cigni Hakucho handle
The classic Japanese handle is made from olive wood. The soft, light-brown colour and the fragrance of olives radiate luxury. The flaming pattern adds an extra dimension to the handle. The handle was secured to the full-tang blade with three stunning rivets. To maintain the stunning colour of the olive wood, and to not affect the sharpness of the blade, we recommend cleaning this knife by hand. Dry it after cleaning it to prevent discolourations or tears and to make sure the wood doesn’t bend.
## Due Cigni Hakucho blade
The blade is made from 4116-X50Cr15MOV steel and has a smooth, razor-sharp edge. This type of steel is also easy to sharpen, if, after some time, it has lost some of its sharpness. The stunning markings on the blade complete the whole.
## Due Cigni Hakucho collection
The kitchen knives from the Due Cigni Hakucho collection were designed by Oreste Frati. The founder of FOX Knives. In addition to being the owner of Fox Knives, he is a gifted designer. He used the Japanese style as the basis for this collection of kitchen knives. The stunning markings on the blade emphasize this, and add to the design. The knives are produced in Italy.
