Corey Dunlap Inazuma Petty Kitchen Knife

The Corey Dunlap Inazuma Petty Knife bridges the gap between fine detail work and everyday utility. Designed for versatility, it carries the same meticulous craftsmanship and exceptional edge refinement that define every Inazuma blade.

Each blade is precision cut, carefully hand ground, and hand sharpened to achieve outstanding sharpness and edge retention. The grind is intentional and refined, allowing the knife to glide cleanly through fruits, vegetables, proteins, and herbs with minimal resistance. Balanced and agile, it excels at tasks where control and speed matter most.

The handles are offered in both Western and Wa styles, featuring premium materials such as gray burl wood and charred osage. Every handle is fitted and finished to complement the blade, providing a comfortable, secure grip and a seamless connection between hand and steel.

The Inazuma Petty Knife is an indispensable everyday companion—small enough for finesse, yet substantial enough to handle a wide range of kitchen tasks with confidence and elegance.
