Anryu Knives are an acclaimed name in the blacksmithing industry. This knife is an exemplary example of a centuries-old craft, passed down from generation to generation of the Anryu family. Katsushige Anryu, and his nephew Ikeda-san created this remarkable piece.

A petty knife provides precise control for detail work such as boning, slicing shallots, and cutting herbs.  This being short will function best for paring knife type tasks such as trimming and peeling fruits and vegetables.
