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.
AUS-8 is a Japanese stainless steel produced by Aichi Steel. It is widely used in kitchen knives for its excellent balance of sharpness, durability, and corrosion resistance.
With a moderate carbon content and the addition of molybdenum and vanadium, AUS-8 provides good edge retention while remaining relatively easy to sharpen. The steel is also highly resistant to rust, making it suitable for both professional kitchens and home cooking environments.
Many Japanese kitchen knives use AUS-8 as the core steel in laminated constructions, combining a hard cutting edge with softer outer layers for improved durability and stability.
