Due Cigni Pratiko 2 – Petty Black G10, Satin Sandvik 12C27 by Michele Massaro (2C 3001) is a versatile Petty kitchen knife designed for precise cutting and filleting.

Due Cigni Pratiko 2 – Petty for precise kitchen work

Due Cigni Pratiko 2 – Petty Black G10, Satin Sandvik 12C27 by Michele Massaro (2C 3001) is a kitchen knife with a Petty profile, designed by Michele Massaro for precise work with smaller ingredients. It combines an elongated, slender blade made of Sandvik 12C27 steel, a Satin finish, and a handle made of durable G10 composite. This design is ideal for slicing vegetables, preparing fruit, filleting smaller fish, portioning, and tasks requiring precise control of the tip.

The Pratiko 2 Petty has a more substantial form than classic, very small utility knives, providing greater stability when working on a cutting board. At the same time, its thin tip allows for precise cuts and enables you to work in places where a larger chef’s knife would be less handy. It’s a practical tool for those who want to add a precise, lightweight, and comfortable knife to their kitchen set for everyday use.

Sandvik 12C27 – Stainless Steel for Everyday Cooking

Sandvik 12C27 is a stainless steel prized for its good corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and stable edge retention. In a kitchen knife, it performs well during regular contact with moisture, vegetable and fruit juices, food, and the cutting board. It is a practical material for users who want to keep their knife in good condition without having to resort to complicated maintenance methods.

A hardness level of 55–57 HRC provides a reasonable balance between ease of sharpening and edge durability. The knife can be quickly sharpened on a ceramic sharpener, a water stone, or a guided sharpening system, which is particularly important in the kitchen, where the knife’s cutting edge needs to be maintained regularly.

Petty Profile – Thin Tip and Precise Blade Guidance

The Petty profile is designed for precise kitchen tasks that require more control than a large Chef’s knife can provide. The slender blade makes it easier to slice smaller ingredients, trim vegetables, portion food, fillet, and work on fine details. The thin tip allows for precise cuts and enables the blade to be guided close to the food’s structure.

The blade geometry is designed to support smooth, controlled cutting and high precision. The Satin finish gives the blade surface a clean, professional look that fits well with the functional character of the Pratiko 2 series.

Black G10 – a durable handle for kitchen work

The handle made of G10 combines mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and good moisture resistance. This composite performs well in a kitchen environment, where the knife comes into regular contact with water, steam, and fluctuating temperatures. The textured surface provides a more secure grip, even with damp hands.

The Black color gives the design a simple, professional look, and the handle’s minimalist geometry allows for comfortable handling during extended use. The use of G10 makes the Pratiko 2 Petty more durable for everyday use than classic knives with wooden handles, while maintaining a lightweight and functional design.
