The Petty knife is an essential tool in any kitchen, offering precision and versatility for smaller, more delicate tasks. It serves as a compact, agile counterpart to the Gyuto, making it perfect for peeling, trimming, slicing fruit, and handling intricate cutting work that requires control and accuracy. Whether you’re deveining shrimp, mincing garlic, or making precise cuts on smaller ingredients, the Petty knife is the ideal choice.

Compared to larger knives, the Petty knife is lightweight and easy to maneuver, allowing for effortless handling and precision. While Western kitchens often rely on paring knives for similar tasks, the Petty’s slightly longer and narrower blade provides better reach and versatility. It can be used for both in-hand peeling and cutting on a board, making it a must-have for any chef who values efficiency and fine detail in their prep work.

With its razor-sharp edge and nimble design, the Petty knife bridges the gap between a paring knife and a Gyuto, ensuring that no task is too small for precision cutting.

They feature a special nickel and silver bolster, providing an elegant appearance and improved weight distribution. Each UX10 knife is hand-finished with a sharp bevel angle, making it one of the most sought-after stainless-steel knives among professional chefs who demand precision and reliability.
