Petty Knives — Precision and Grace in a Compact Form

Japanese Paring Knives

The petty knife is a compact, highly versatile Japanese blade designed for delicate, detailed tasks — peeling, trimming, and fine decorative cuts.
With its thin, razor-sharp edge, it offers superb control and accuracy, making it the perfect companion to larger knives like the Gyuto or Santoku in both professional and home kitchens.

For the Finest Details in Every Cut

A petty knife excels at precision work — slicing small fruits and vegetables, cutting herbs, or performing hand-held tasks that require finesse.
Forged in Japan from high-quality steels, these knives are thinner and harder than most Western paring knives, retaining their edge longer and gliding effortlessly through ingredients with minimal resistance.

Typically ranging from 80 mm to 150 mm (3–6 inches), petty knives are fitted with comfortable, ergonomic wooden handles that feel natural in the hand.
Lightweight and well-balanced, they make long prep sessions smooth and enjoyable, bringing a sense of ease and precision to everyday cooking.

Refined Tools for Everyday Perfection

Trusted by chefs and home cooks alike, Japanese petty knives are essential tools for refined, efficient cooking.
Each blade embodies the balance of precision, usability, and Japanese craftsmanship —
a small knife that holds the soul of centuries of tradition.
