A petty knife is a small Japanese utility knife, the counterpart to a Western paring or utility knife. Made by Sakai Kikumori in Sakai, Osaka, it takes on the smaller jobs: trimming, peeling, shallots and herbs on the board, and fruit held in the hand. The name comes from the French "petit". The style dates from the late 19th century, when Western-style knives first came into Japanese kitchens. The premium VG5 stainless steel blade keeps its edge well through everyday use. Pairs well with matching santoku knife and/or gyutō knife in VG5.

The Sakai region of Osaka has been the heart of Japanese blade-making for over 600 years. Founded in 1926 by Kawamura Hamono, Sakai Kikumori is approaching its centenary and still makes its knives with the region's skilled makers.

Important: Knives are only available to persons over 18 years of age. All customers purchasing knives will be asked to verify their age at checkout and items will be shipped with age-verified delivery.
