At 120mm, the petty is the most versatile knife in any kitchen: precise enough for detail work, long enough for small proteins and fruit. Carbon steel at 58 HRC takes a razor edge and rewards regular sharpening with performance that stainless simply cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel: Carbon steel, 58 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Kurouchi (blacksmith finish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBevel: Double bevel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 120mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Rosewood black octagon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Made in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Vintage - one-of-a-kind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: 1x petty knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Petty - Japan's Answer to the Utility Knife\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe petty knife is a Japanese kitchen staple - lighter and more nimble than a gyuto, more capable than a paring knife. The kurouchi finish is left by the blacksmith after forging, protecting the blade and giving it a raw, honest character that polished knives lack. The rosewood black octagon handle sits perfectly in hand, with the angular geometry that Japanese craftsmen have refined over centuries. This is a working knife with a story - and plenty of life left in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of camellia or food-safe mineral oil periodically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on a whetstone - carbon steel responds exceptionally well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife roll - avoid loose drawers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52017992401187,"sku":"CK#set17","price":145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/0159FCB4-5B15-4FF1-BC6B-192D8672E242.jpg?v=1783252234","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/japanese-petty-knife-120mm-carbon-steel-rosewood-black-octagon-handle-made-in-japan-1555","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
