A petty knife is an essential companion in any kitchen, prized for its compact size and exceptional precision. Typically ranging from 120 mm to 150 mm, the petty knife is ideal for tasks that require finesse—such as peeling fruits, trimming herbs, or making delicate garnishes. Its slim blade and pointed tip allow for controlled, intricate cuts that larger knives may struggle with. Whether you're working on handheld tasks or fine slicing on the board, a petty knife offers agility and accuracy, making it an indispensable tool for both professional chefs and home cooks who value detail-oriented craftsmanship.

SG2 is a premium powdered stainless steel prized for its exceptional hardness, sharpness, and edge retention. Thanks to its fine grain structure, SG2 can be ground to an incredibly sharp edge that holds longer than many traditional steels—ideal for precision tasks like slicing raw fish or other delicate ingredients. Unlike high-carbon steels, SG2 is also highly resistant to corrosion and staining, offering the low-maintenance convenience of stainless steel without sacrificing performance. This makes SG2 a top choice among serious chefs who demand both cutting-edge performance and long-term reliability in the kitchen.
