Small Blade. Total Control.
The petty knife is the Japanese equivalent of the Western paring knife - used in hand for peeling, coring, trimming, and all the fine detail work that a larger blade can't reach. At 135mm, it sits between a paring knife and a utility knife - precise enough for in-hand work, long enough for slicing smaller ingredients on the board. VG1 stainless holds a sharp, long-lasting edge with minimal maintenance - no rust risk, easy to sharpen on Japanese water stones. Made in Japan by Tsunehisa.
