In Japanese knife making, the "Petty Knife" is a play on the Frech 'Petit' meaning a small, double ground utitlity blade. Handcrafted in the authentic Japanese style by our artisan knifemakers, our 6” Petty Knife gives you the perfect blade for detailed cutting or quick kitchen tasks.

Save $5 off a leather saya when you combine it with your knife purchase! Our leather saya (also called a sheath) is a must have for a professional chef who travels with their knives, but also a perfect solution for at-home storage or even taking your knives along camping or on a trip.

Equally at home in the hands of a professional chef or a home cook, you’ll love having a knife that stays sharp, cuts with precision, and is easy to sharpen and maintain.

Crafted with core VG10 steel for years of use, our 6” Petty Knife is made with the signature karouchi blacksmith finish of our forge, protecting the inner steel layers and making it easier to glide through and release foods when slicing.
