Spyderco Murray Carter Wakiita Petty Paring Knife, Black Handle

The Spyderco Murray Carter Wakiita Petty knife is the ideal paring knife for peeling, slicing fruits and vegetables, making garnishes, and other detailed food preparation. The special CTS BD1N blade is a high-carbon, nitrogen-enriched steel that gives a superior blend of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The thin, straight edge delivers superior cutting performance and is shaped in the signature “Carter Elbow”, a distinct taper from the spine to point that gives the tip extra reinforcement.

In French petit means small. In Japan, Wakiita means “near the cutting board” and is often used to describe senior apprentices working with high-ranked chefs, similar to a sous chef in a Western kitchen. The Wakiita Petty is the perfect knife for precision cuts in your kitchen and is part of the Wakiita tier of the Spyderco Murray Carter Collection.

The wa style black G10 octagonal handle gives you a comfort and control. 

“A remarkable fusion of time-tested traditional designs and state-of-the-art modern materials, the Wakiita Series accurately translates Murray Carter’s prized custom designs into high-performance cutlery that is sure to please even the most discriminating cooking enthusiasts.”

Made in Japan.
