26. Pablo Soto’s Petty v.2

Pablo Soto of NOMA has found his most used knives are a petty and a slicer. Quite often, pettys are too small for detailed chopping or too short for slicing and slicers can be uncomfortably long during a busy service.

Version 2 adds blade length, a larger handle and some distance between the handle & blade for more of a slicer feel. Part full, part hidden tang with a trout finished blade.
