Akin to a utility knife, the Japanese Petit (or Petty) knife is ideal for precision work like slicing cheese, peeling fruit, or making decorative garnishes. Shizu Hamono's YURI range was developed in consultation with female chefs, modifying traditional knife silhouettes to improve ease of use during long hours of work in professional kitchens.
About Seki City
Shizu Hamono Cutlery is located in Seki City, a city synonymous with knife production in Japan. Over 780 years ago, the city attracted swordsmiths whose creations were revered throughout the country. When swords fell out of fashion, the industry turned its attention to cutlery, producing knives that garner the same level of reverence as the swords of the past.
