{"product_id":"petty-150mm-5-23","title":"Petty 150mm (5.9\")","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCompared 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Takeshi Saji VG10 Cross Tsuchime Kurouchi Pinecone series is a striking fusion of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and bold artistic design. Hand forged in Takefu, Japan, these knives pair a practical stainless steel core with one of Saji’s most recognisable finishes. The blade features a VG10 stainless steel core, heat treated for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and relatively easy maintenance. This makes it an ideal choice for cooks who want high end Japanese performance without the upkeep of a fully reactive carbon steel blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eVisually, the knife stands out thanks to its Cross Tsuchime Kurouchi finish. The upper portion of the blade retains a deep black kurouchi finish that gives it a rugged, hand-forged appearance, while the distinctive cross-pattern hammer marks (tsuchime) create texture and help reduce food sticking during slicing. Together, these finishes produce a blade that is both functional and unmistakably unique. The knife has a slightly more robust grind than many ultra thin laser style Japanese knives, giving it a reassuring weight and durability while still delivering excellent cutting performance. Many owners describe Saji’s knives as having a substantial, handcrafted feel rather than an overly delicate one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 143\u003c\/span\u003eg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-single_line_text_field\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcrylic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e108mm (4.2\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 152\u003c\/span\u003emm (5.9\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 35\u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness at spine:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2.0\u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness at tip:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e0.2mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDouble 50\/50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eVG10 stainless steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness (Rockwell scale):\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e61 - 62\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takeshi Saji VG10 Cross Tsuchime Pinecone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58008723685759,"sku":null,"price":219.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/0646\/7124\/files\/IMG_5471.heic?v=1784455267","url":"https:\/\/knivesforchefs.co.uk\/products\/petty-150mm-5-23","provider":"Knives for Chefs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
