Do you need a knife you can use for all those smaller tasks? 

The petty knife is the perfect length for everything from cubing small chicken breasts to peeling an apple. This Sawakazuma petty knife is a great lightweight knife with a very nice balance.

Useful on food types: Small proteins as well as small to medium fruits and vegetables including apples, oranges, carrots, broccoli, and garlic.

The blade is V1 stainless steel which is similar to carbon-based materials, but stainless steel containing chrome.

Petty & Paring knives are small utility kitchen knives perfect for small proteins, fruits and vegetables.

This knife maker is Sawakazuma from Echizen city, Fukui which is located along the Sea of Japan. Echizen knives have a long history, dating back 700 years. While Japanese knives as a whole are typically designed with thinner blades than their European counterparts, the knives coming from Echizen take that a step further and are even narrower.
