What to know before you buy

About this knife

  • Petty knives of this 120mm length are small, for detail work and compact boards.
  • It has a Western-style (yo) handle, the kind most cooks outside Japan are used to.
  • VG-10 is a stainless steel, which resists rust better than carbon steel.
  • It is double-bevel (sharpened on both sides), so it works for left- and right-handed cooks.

Limits to know

  • Like any hard Japanese blade, keep it off bones, frozen food and glass or stone boards.

Written from this knife's catalog record (steel, handle, length, grind). Knife Fit has not tested it; see how we work.

Good to know for beginners

A petty is the small knife for the jobs a chef's knife is too big for: peeling, trimming, shallots, herbs and fruit in hand. At 120mm it is nimble enough for work in your hand. VG-10 is stainless, so it shrugs off a wet board. The Western yo handle gives a familiar, full grip.
