Petty (ペティナイフ) – The Japanese Utility Knife

Petty knives are small Japanese utility knives designed for precision tasks such as peeling, trimming, slicing small ingredients, and decorative cuts. The name “Petty” comes from the French word “petite,” meaning small.

Typically ranging from 120mm to 150mm in length, Petty knives are lightweight and easy to control, making them ideal for detailed kitchen work where larger knives may feel cumbersome.

Petty knives are commonly used for fruits, herbs, small vegetables, and fine trimming tasks. They complement larger knives like Gyuto or Santoku and are essential tools in both professional and home kitchens.

If you need a precise, compact knife for delicate preparation work, Petty is an indispensable addition to your kitchen.

10A is a stainless steel designed to provide a balanced combination of hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge stability. It is commonly used in multi-layer Damascus constructions, offering reliable cutting performance and ease of maintenance.
