Blade Type

The Petty knife, a quintessential tool in Japanese cuisine, is a smaller utility knife used for precise, delicate tasks. Often considered a smaller sibling to the chef's knife, it excels in hand-held tasks like peeling, trimming, and intricate cutting. Its versatility makes it an essential for detailed culinary work.

Steel Type

VG10 steel, a high-end Japanese stainless steel, is renowned for its superior edge retention and sharpness. Enriched with carbon and chromium, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The addition of cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium enhances its hardness and durability, making VG10 steel ideal for a great everyday workhorse knife steel.

Recommended Maintenance

Store it in a dry environment using magnetic strips, knife rolls, or sayas. Avoid hitting hard or frozen objects and twisting the blade while cutting. These knives are not dishwasher safe. Clean with hot water and a soft cloth, and dry immediately after use to prevent rust spots on the high carbon steel. For more information please read the blog below.

Love Takamura knives!!

Bought the Petty VG10 for a friend, based on having 2 cromax and one VG10 knives that I use constantly...with respect. They are super sharp from factory and are readily returned to that state after 5-10 min using 1000/3000 grit sharpening stones once every 3-6 months.

Fantastic Knife

Amazing knife. I use it daily and it suits any task (as a petty should). Edge retention is great and is insanely sharp out of the box. With daily use for a month I have yet to sharpen it and have only maintained it with a strop. I highly recommend for both professionals and home cooks.
