Petty utility knife 13.5 cm - Hashi Classic Collection

The Petty knife (whose name was borrowed from the French "petit" by the Japanese) is a utility knife designed for all small cutting tasks, from quickly cutting an apple to slicing garlic cloves.

The Japanese equivalent of a utility knife, the Petty is smaller than a Gyuto / slicer but larger than a paring knife. This intermediate size makes it a versatile all-purpose knife, ideal for a variety of cutting tasks for which a larger knife would be unwieldy. Its tapered tip provides great precision, while its length is ideal for slicing small fruit and vegetables, creating garnishes or chopping herbs.
