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. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePairs well with matching \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/karintoedition.com\/products\/sakai-kikumori-vg5-japanese-santoku-knife-175mm\" title=\"Sakai Kikumori VG5 175mm Santoku Knife\"\u003esantoku knife\u003c\/a\u003e and\/or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/karintoedition.com\/products\/sakai-kikumori-vg5-japanese-gyuto-knife-210mm\" title=\"Sakai Kikumori VG5 210mm Gyuto Knife\"\u003egyutō knife\u003c\/a\u003e in VG5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Sakai region of Osaka has been the heart of Japanese blade-making for over 600 years.
