Description
This Tojiro Hammered 5″ Petty Knife is larger than a paring knife and smaller than a chef’s knife, ideal for medium to larger-sized tasks. Designed to clean silver skin from tenderloins and portions of boneless proteins with ease. Use it in hand to peel a potato, but then use the same knife to slice the potato for au gratin. Just the right size for sectioning citrus from a large grapefruit to a smaller lime. It beautifully stems and seeds peppers, shaves garlic, and makes itself generally useful for any task that requires accuracy, agility, and efficient cutting.

The closed resin collar allows for full and complete sharpening of the blade. Every knife is meticulously hand finished by a artisan craftsmen.
