This Zanmai “Classic Damascus” Petty carries a thin spine and finely executed grind, giving it that effortless, laser-like cutting performance Zanmai are known for. The 33-layer Damascus cladding wraps a VG10 core, combining striking visual depth with impressive edge retention and everyday practicality.
Built on a full-tang construction, the blade extends into a distinctive white Corian handle — a tough, hygienic mix of natural minerals and acrylic that feels clean and balanced in hand. While the spine isn’t rounded like some of Zanmai’s higher-end lines, the brand’s signature attention to detail is clear throughout: a beautifully polished choil, mirror finish on the core steel, and an engraved stainless end cap that completes the piece with understated precision.
