Petty knife in the kitchen can do almost anything: cutting, shredding meat and fish, vegetables, fruits, herbs, meat, fish, poultry! One of the "must-have" knives. Petty knife blade length usually ranges from 120-180mm (most popular 150mm), with a width of 26-38mm and a thickness of 1.3-1.8mm. The handle can be as Western same as Japanese style.

This "OLD SCHOOL" Petty knife was made by Sakai Genkichi from Sakai city in Osaka Prefecture in Japan. 140mm long blades are hand-forged in the Japanese traditional method "Warikomi" (Inserted hard steel between softer) using White steel 2 carbon steel as a core. Japanese traditional knife handle made from Magnolia Wood with unique Japanese Akebono-Nuri Urushi finished. This resin-finished provides excellent non-slip, waterproof, and antibacterial properties to the handle. The perfect blade shape and White steel 2 as a core will guarantee excellent cutting ability and sharpness but low rust resistance. To prevent corrosion, please wipe the blade to dry after every use. Genkichi Petty knife is a perfect choice for home "Everyday" cooking and is highly recommended for professionals. Knife packed in premium Japanese authentic gift box with traditional patterns.

After use, wash it with a soft sponge, wipe the knife dry and store safely. Avoid cutting the bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards, and high-end composites, as well as quality plastics such as polyethylene, make acceptable cutting surfaces and will help protect and extend the life of the knife's edge. AVOID using glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, unyielding surfaces.

We think that sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones produces the finest results for your blades.
