Up for sale/sale is a pristine example of the Bark River Petty-Z, handcrafted in Escanaba, Michigan. Engineered specifically for culinary excellence in both the home kitchen and backcountry camp cookouts, the Petty-Z takes the classic Japanese "Petty" utility knife profile and elevates it with premium American powder metallurgy steel and rugged modern composites.

This build features razor-sharp CPM-154 stainless steel, vibrant high-visibility Red G-10 handles secured with three aluminum pins, and its original fitted Kydex blade slip.

Model Highlights & Culinary Specifications:

• Crucible CPM-154 Super Stainless: Offers exceptional edge retention, clean slicing performance, and near-total resistance to food acids, citrus, and moisture—making it ideal for wet culinary environments.

• Petty Utility Geometry: Sits perfectly between a paring knife and a small chef’s knife. The tall heel keeps knuckles clear of cutting boards, while the fine tip excels at peeling, slicing, deboning small poultry, and detail vegetable prep.

• Sanitary Red G-10 Handles: Completely non-porous, waterproof, and impervious to kitchen oils, grease, and moisture. The vibrant red hue provides instant visibility on busy prep surfaces.

• Triple Aluminum Pin Construction: Three flush-ground 3/16" aluminum pins mechanically anchor the scales to the full tang for lifelong durability.

• Original Kydex Edge Guard: Accompanied by the original factory friction-fit Kydex blade slip, ensuring safe storage in a culinary drawer, roll, or camp chuck box without dulling the edge.

Physical & Cosmetic Condition:

• Blade & Edge:Clean, sharp cutting edge with an intact needle tip and crisp factory ricasso markings ("Bark River Knives / Escanaba, MI USA / CPM 154"). Minimal blade face wear.

• Handle Scales:The Red G-10 scales remain structurally rock-solid and tightly bonded to the tang. In the interest of full collector transparency, there are light dings and superficial scuff marks around the front and rear perimeter of the handle from storage in a kitchen utensil drawer. These are purely cosmetic surface marks that do not affect grip or integrity.

• Kydex Slip: Clean and crack-free, seating the blade smoothly with secure friction retention.

A premium, hard-working American-made kitchen tool perfect for gourmet cooks, hunting camp chefs, or Bark River collectors rounding out their culinary lineup.
