Superior Craftsmanship and Materials

The AZ Knives Petty UHB20C is forged from Uddeholm UHB20C, a high-carbon Swedish steel with properties similar to White #2. This superior steel, combined with the abura yaki-ire technique, ensures a blade that is both sharp and durable. The process involves a clay coating that creates a harder edge and softer spine, resulting in a visible hamon and a hardness of 62–63 HRC. The handle is crafted from Urunday, a dense Argentine hardwood known for its exceptional moisture resistance and structural integrity.

Unmatched Craftsmanship and Personal Commitment

Each knife is handcrafted by Santiago Aberastain in his one-person workshop in Puerto Deseado, Patagonia. Santiago's dedication to craftsmanship is evident in the unique function and style of every knife, produced without serialized production. His work is not just a grounding ritual but also a personal commitment to excellence. Santiago's knives are ideal for professional chefs and culinary enthusiasts who demand the best in both performance and aesthetics.
