Japanese Petty (Utility Knives)

Breeze Through the Smaller Tasks With a Petty Knife

The Petty knife is a Japanese utility knife, sometimes also referred to as a paring knife. It’s perfect for smaller preparation tasks, such as slicing, dicing, and mincing vegetables, fruits, and herbs.

Written in Japanese as ぺティ (ぺてぃ), the Petty knife is an all-application knife. It is popular among chefs in the West and the East for light butchery work that requires a greater deal of precision. Trimming meat, fileting small fish, and performing precise chopping techniques such as brunoise cuts are all jobs for a Petty knife.

Petty knives put a Japanese spin on Western-style utility knives. They are all-purpose, versatile kitchen implements with a double-beveled blade. The Petty is larger than a Western paring knife but smaller than both a Western chef’s knife and a Japanese Gyuto knife.
