Tojiro Basic Petty Knife, 13.5 cm blade

Tojiro Basic Petty Knife (13.5 cm blade)

The Petty: A versatile knife positioned between a paring knife and a filleting knife; ideal for chopping meat, vegetables, or herbs, and for slicing.
The term "Petty" refers to utility knives.

VG10 stainless steel blade with two outer layers of softer stainless steel (hardness 60-61 HRC). Exceptional cutting edge that is easy to sharpen. This version features a partial tang, meaning the metal does not extend all the way to the end of the handle. Semi-sandblasted finish.

Pakkawood handle (compressed wood resistant to moisture and daily wear). Small tang at the end of the handle for a better grip.
A lightweight knife with weight balanced towards the front of the blade, featuring three rivets.

To maintain your Japanese knives, hand-washing is recommended; try to keep the handle dry. Avoid abrasive sponges; simply wipe with a clean, dry cloth, and your knife will look brand new.
Do not use a dishwasher if you want your knives to last.
