The Iseya Petty

Iseya knives are handmade by Yoshinori Seto using molybdenum stainless steel - a hand-finished blade construction that ensures strength and integrity throughout. Molybdenum stainless steel is a practical, high-performing alloy prized for its superior edge retention, sharpness, and stain resistance - an excellent choice for cooks who want Japanese blade performance with minimal maintenance. At 150mm this petty sits between a paring knife and a small gyuto - nimble enough for in-hand peeling and trimming, long enough to work on the board for breaking down shallots, herbs, and small proteins. At just 83g it is light and responsive for extended prep sessions. The black pakka wood handle is durable, moisture-resistant, and comfortable in the hand.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after each use
• Hone regularly with a ceramic or fine honing rod
• Sharpen on Japanese water stones
• Do not use on frozen food or bones - the blade can chip
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block - avoid loose drawers
