Petty: Often called paring or utility knife, the petty knife is made for smaller cutting tasks. An indispensable tool in any knife kit, it excels at cutting herbs, slicing garlic, dicing shallots, peeling fruit & veg, and even de-boning certain cuts of meat or breaking down poultry. Petty knives can vary in size (75mm -210mm) and shape.
These cool little peeling knives from Sakai Kikumori are perfect for the cook who prefers to use a knife rather than a traditional peeler. They are built with SK carbon steel so sharpening is a breeze, and they’ll build up a sweet patina.
