Blade Type
Blade Type

The Petty is your smaller knife for delicate work. Think mincing garlic, trimming up chicken thighs or meats, skinning fruit, and just about anything else the Bunka or Gyuto is too large for. It's an essential part of your knife range and we use ours almost daily.

Steel Type
Steel Type Read

VG10 steel, a high-end Japanese stainless steel, is renowned for its superior edge retention and sharpness. Enriched with carbon and chromium, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The addition of cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium enhances its hardness and durability, making VG10 steel ideal for a great everyday workhorse knife steel.

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.

Great little all-rounder

I'm not a chef, just an average home cook. But I think this is a great little knife. I use it for all the small jobs - slicing an onion, peeling & quartering an apple, cutting up a carrot or zucchini. I live alone so am not cooking in large quantities. This is a great all-rounder.

Great!

Sharp, well balanced and a pleasure to use.

Blade is good but the handle is very small for a pairing knife, and slips around the hand easily.
