UMAMI – Petty Japanese knife 150mm

The Petty is the Japanese equivalent of the European paring knife, a utility knife essential in any kitchen. Its thin, pointed blade and compact size make it ideal for detailed work such as peeling, trimming, and chopping fruits, vegetables, and herbs. It perfectly complements larger blades like the Gyuto or Deba, providing agility and precision.

This model, forged in Osaka by Tahara Shunichi, is made of Shiro Nigo white steel, a carbon steel renowned for its ease of sharpening and flexibility, which nevertheless retains an exceptional hardness of HRC 64-65. This guarantees a clean, precise and durable edge, capable of cutting without tearing flesh. The raw forged steel finish gives it a strong artisanal character, reinforced by its octagonal handle and its ferrule made of Asian buffalo horn, which ensure balance and comfort in the hand.
