The Petty knife, originating in Japan, is a compact utility blade tailored for detailed tasks.

Commonly used for but not limited to: coring fruits, herbs, shallots and garlic, deveining shrimp

Vanishing point

The V-shaped grind on the Petty's blade is honed in with a thin bevel and seamlessly reaches the edge to a microscopic point.

Off the board specialist
