QUALITATIVE SPECIFICATIONS
WHY CHOOSE THE PETTY
ペティ ⎯ PETTY ⎯ UTILITY KNIFE
Overview
The petty knife is compact utility — 80–150mm of edge for work that larger knives can't reach. Peeling, trimming, breaking down small proteins, plating detail. Where a santoku or gyuto would be oversized, the petty steps in. A necessary secondary knife for any serious kitchen.
Perfect for smaller kitchens
A compact blade that works within the space you actually have. Fits standard home cutting boards, stores without dominating the block or drawer. No sacrifice in function — just a format scaled for real-world kitchens.
Compact and agile
Short blade, light construction, fast in the hand. The petty's small format allows for tight control work — following contours, removing pith, working around bone. Speed and precision over raw capacity.
Lightweight
Less steel means faster movement and lower fatigue across long prep sessions. The lightweight build keeps the hand fresh when the work runs long. Built to move, not to sit.
Precision cuts
80–150mm of focused edge for cuts that require control over power. Peeling, segmenting, trimming, plating detail. The petty goes where larger blades can't follow and handles it at full sharpness.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Dry thoroughly
After each use, wash the knives promptly and dry it thoroughly to bid farewell to any lingering moisture.
Gentle hand-wash only
Treat the knives with love by avoiding dishwashers. Hand-wash it with care, ensuring its longevity.
Be mindful of hard objects

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How to choose the perfect knife?
The first key point in choosing a knife is what you cook and how you cut.
Knives come in many shapes and sizes. Choosing the right one for your cooking style greatly improves comfort and cutting performance.
The best knife is the one that feels right to you—The one you actually want to pick up and use. While performance varies slightly, your choice is primarily about personal style, comfort, and maintenance habits.
What payment methods are available?
We currently accept payments via PayPal and all major credit cards. All transactions are processed through our secure checkout, and we ensure that your details are never shared with third parties.
Prepaid gift cards and debit cards can also be used, but please note that they may occasionally encounter issues during approval, such as expiration dates or insufficient balances. Because of this, we cannot guarantee that prepaid cards, even those with a Visa logo, will always be approved. We recommend checking the balance of your prepaid card before enrolling if it’s your chosen payment method.
Does shipping fee include custom fees and taxes?
We recommend double-checking your country’s customs regulations before placing your order. Customs fees and taxes vary from country to country, so it’s important to be aware of your local rules. If you are charged any customs fees or taxes, please note that we are not responsible for covering these costs. These charges are determined by your local government, and unfortunately, we do not have control over the import taxes or customs procedures.
How should I choose between stainless and carbon?
Choosing a steel type is less about “sharpness” (both can be razor-sharp!) and more about your lifestyle. Generally, stainless steel is easy maintenance, and carbon steel is easy to sharpen.
