Dellinger Blue Stone Damascus

Petty 95 mm – a small, versatile knife with a blue stone and Damascus blade

The Dellinger Blue Stone Damascus 95 mm Petty knife is a compact and precise tool for everyday slicing of fruit, vegetables, herbs, cheese, and smaller cuts of meat. It combines a Damascus blade with a 10Cr15CoMoV core—equivalent to Japanese VG-10 steel—and a distinctive handle made of stabilized howlite with a blue stone-like appearance.

Petty 95 mm: a precision knife for detailed work

The Petty 95 mm is a knife you’ll appreciate in the kitchen whenever a large chef’s knife is unnecessarily bulky. It’s perfect for peeling and slicing fruit, cleaning vegetables, portioning smaller ingredients, preparing snacks, cutting cheese, larding meat, and delicate work with herbs or garlic.  Thanks to its short blade, it handles very well and allows for precise, controlled cuts. It is a practical complement to larger knives such as the Gyuto, Santoku, or Chef’s knife, but you’ll often reach for it on its own for quick everyday meal prep.

Damascus blade with a 10Cr15CoMoV core

The knife blade is made of Damascus steel with a 10Cr15CoMoV cutting core, which is equivalent to Japanese VG-10 steel. The core is sandwiched between 66 layers of stainless steel of varying hardness, which help protect the blade, increase toughness, and create the characteristic Damascus pattern.& nbsp;A hardness of R61 ± 1 HRC provides excellent sharpness and long-lasting edge retention when used properly. The knife’s small size, combined with its sharp blade, offers excellent control over the cut, making the Petty ideal for precise kitchen tasks where detail matters.

Handle made of stabilized blue howlite

The handle made of stabilized howlite is a distinctive design element of the entire Blue Stone Damascus series. The blue veining resembles natural stone and contrasts beautifully with the Damascus pattern of the blade. Each piece may have a slightly different pattern, giving the knife a unique look.  Stabilizing the material helps increase its resistance to moisture and everyday use. The ergonomic Western-style handle fits comfortably in the hand, provides a secure grip, and helps maintain control during fast slicing and precise food preparation

Care and Maintenance

A high-quality Damascus knife requires gentle handling. After use, wash it by hand with a mild detergent, dry it immediately, and store it so that the blade does not come into contact with other metal objects. The dishwasher is not suitable—it can damage the blade, the blade surface, and the handle. To maintain sharpness over the long term, we recommend water or diamond whetstones, gentle regular sharpening, and safe storage away from a drawer with regular cutlery. It is advisable to protect the small Petty knife with a blade guard, sheath, stand, or magnetic strip.

Care	Recommendations
Washing	Hand wash only, using a mild detergent and a soft sponge.
Drying	Dry the blade and handle immediately after washing.
Dishwasher	Not suitable – may damage the blade, surface, and handle.
Sharpening	Water or diamond whetstones, light sharpening, or professional service.
Storage	Blade guard, magnetic strip, stand, knife block, Saya, or protective sheath.
