At 58-60 HRC it is a practical, easy-to-maintain steel that holds a working edge through daily prep and sharpens readily on Japanese water stones. The petty is the Japanese utility knife - a small, nimble blade for tasks that require precision and control. At 120mm it is the most compact petty in the Tsunehisa AUS8 range, ideal for peeling, trimming, segmenting citrus, and any fine detail work where a larger knife would be unwieldy.
