Product Overview

Reach for the AE-5202 when a full-size chef knife feels larger than the job. Its 4-3/4-inch blade and tapered point suit small ingredients, fruit preparation and careful trimming, while its 9-inch overall length keeps the format compact.

The knife combines a silver Damascus-patterned blade with a strengthened black wooden handle, stainless-steel bolster and end cap. Made in Japan, it complements a longer gyutou or broad nakiri when a prep station needs a smaller blade for finishing work.

A compact blade for careful cuts

The short blade and narrow, pointed profile keep the cutting area close at hand for small ingredients. Use the AE-5202 for fruit preparation and detailed trimming when a larger chef knife would be cumbersome.

At 9 inches overall, this petty offers a smaller working format than the AE-5205 gyutou. Choose it for precision tasks rather than the long slicing strokes or broad vegetable prep better served by the larger knives.

33-layer Damascus steel

A VG-10 steel core and layered Damascus construction give the blade its distinctive patterned finish.

Strengthened wooden handle

Black strengthened wood offers moisture resistance, with a stainless-steel bolster and end cap framing the grip.

4-3/4" petty blade

Fruit, trimming and detailed prep. The complete knife measures 9" long.

Damascus detail from blade to handle

The layered blade pairs a VG-10 steel core with a 33-layer Damascus pattern. The strengthened black wooden grip adds moisture resistance, and the stainless-steel bolster and end cap finish the handle at both ends.

The silver-and-black construction coordinates with the larger knives in the Sekimagoroku Damascus range while retaining the compact proportions of a petty knife.

Keep the edge ready for fruit prep

A small pointed blade makes it easier to work with individual pieces of fruit and other compact ingredients. Use a stable cutting board and controlled strokes, keeping fingers clear of the edge.

Hand wash after use, rinse and dry thoroughly before storing. Use a wood or plastic cutting board, avoid bones and frozen food, and do not twist the blade in a cut. Protect the edge in storage and sharpen when needed.
