About This

• PRECISION WHERE A CHEF KNIFE FEELS TOO BIG: The 135mm Petty fills the gap between a chef knife and a paring knife. Use it for peeling, trimming, slicing shallots, garlic, fruit, herbs, and small proteins where an 8-inch chef knife is too long and a paring knife is too short. Shorter blade means more tactile feedback and faster direction changes on the board.
• HAMMERED DAMASCUS AICHI STAINLESS STEEL: The blade is layered Damascus steel using Aichi stainless from Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The hammered (tsuchime) finish on the blade face reduces surface friction so food releases more cleanly during cuts. Stainless steel means no patina, no rust risk, and a simpler care routine than carbon steel while still delivering the sharpness serious cooks expect.
• LIGHTWEIGHT, FAST AND EXTREMELY MANEUVERABLE: At 135mm this blade sits between a paring knife and a full chef knife. Reduced length means your wrist travels less, your grip stays lighter, and your cuts stay accurate through fast prep. Use it in-hand for peeling or on the board for precise slicing where a longer blade would feel clumsy. Handle balance keeps it from feeling top-heavy during extended use.
• LOW-MAINTENANCE JAPANESE PERFORMANCE: No oiling, no rust risk, no reactive patina. Aichi stainless holds its edge through regular home use and maintains sharpness between sharpenings. Hone it on a ceramic honing rod to extend the edge; sharpen on a 1000 to 3000 grit whetstone when needed. Pairs naturally with any whetstone you already own. This is the Japanese knife for cooks who want quality without the upkeep ritual carbon steel demands.
• PAIRS WITH YOUR CHEF KNIFE OR WORKS ALONE: The Petty knife handles tasks a chef knife is too large for and a paring knife too small for, making it the most practical addition to any serious home kitchen. A natural gift for home cooks, culinary school graduates, and knife enthusiasts for birthdays, Father's Day, and the holidays. Ships gift-ready. Backed by a 3-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.
