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 Japanese-style (wa) handle: a handle without a metal bolster, set into the blade with a hidden tang.
- Shirogami #2 (White #2) is a carbon steel that rusts and stains if it is left wet, so it is wiped dry after every use.
- It is double-bevel (sharpened on both sides), so it works for left- and right-handed cooks.
Limits to know
- Carbon steel develops a patina and can rust; it is not for a knife that sits wet in the sink.
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. Shirogami #2 (White #2) is carbon steel: very sharp and easy to sharpen, but wipe it dry while you cook or it will rust (the stainless cladding keeps the rest of the blade easy). The Japanese wa handle is light and puts the balance toward the blade.
