What to know before you buy
About this knife
- Petty knives of this 150mm 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.
- R2/SG2 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
- A thin grind cuts easily but is not made for hard or frozen food, bones or twisting in the cut.
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. 150mm is the most versatile petty length. R2/SG2 is stainless, so it shrugs off a wet board. The Western yo handle gives a familiar, full grip.
