Tsunehisa Swedish Stainless Washiji Petty 135mm - Mono Ebony

The Petty knife, a quintessential tool in Japanese cuisine, is a smaller utility knife used for precise, delicate tasks. Often considered a smaller sibling to the chef's knife, it excels in hand-held tasks like peeling, trimming, and intricate cutting. Its versatility makes it an essential for detailed culinary work.

Swedish Stainless Steel, a premium stainless alloy refined for exceptional purity and consistency, offers a superb balance between edge performance and corrosion resistance. It provides a clean, smooth cutting feel and maintains sharpness well while being much easier to care for than high-carbon steels. Though it doesn’t take quite as fine an edge as reactive steels like White #2, it delivers excellent durability and stability in everyday kitchen environments. Ideal for chefs who want reliable sharpness and effortless maintenance without constant worry about rust.

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.
