Tsunami Petty Knife - Complete Knife

This Tsunami Petty Knife is made by for us out of VG-10 Damascus Steel and thus offers one of the best cutlery steels on the market at an extremely competitive price. These Full Tang knives will provide you a lifetime of service

The Petty knife, also known as the Japanese paring knife or the Japanese utility knife and  is a versatile multi-purpose knife that is typically larger than an  American paring knife, but smaller than a western chef’s knife or the Japanese chef’s knife, the Gyuto.

Petty knives are a smaller version of the Gyuto chef’s knife and are similarly used as an all-rounder knife to peel, slice, dice, mince, peel and trim a variety of smaller fruits, vegetables, herbs, garnishes and proteins.

Particularly loved by line cooks in professional kitchens for its compact size and versatility, the Petty knife is also highly recommended for those who:

• have a smaller workspace
• want a smaller knife for quick use when a full-sized Gyuto or chef’s knife would be unwieldy (to cut a lime, for example), or
• have smaller hands and want a lighter alternative to the Gyuto

The handles are made out of a honeycomb and resin material. The red stripe brings the eye directly to the handle and divides the honeycomb and the black and white tempest swirl of the resin at the bottom of the handle. You will also notice a geometric mosaic pin in the handle and this features just tops off one of my favorite scale sets used on our knives.  These handles are extremely stable. They are attached with 2 standard pins and one intricate mosaic pin. These Highly polished knives will look great in your kitchen.
