Specifications
Hand-forged in Sakai, Japan by master blacksmith Yoshikazu Ikeda, this petty knife features a Shirogami #2 carbon steel core clad in soft iron with a migaki finish. A petty knife is a small multipurpose blade, ideal for tasks that are too delicate for a larger gyuto or santoku. It excels at peeling, trimming, and precise slicing of fruits, herbs, and smaller ingredients, and is especially useful for off‑the‑board work such as peeling and trimming.
