Masutani Tsuchime Petty

A 135mm petty knife is a versatile utility tool designed for smaller, detailed tasks that a larger chef's knife can't handle comfortably. It is ideal for peeling fruits and vegetables, trimming fat from meat, and performing intricate slicing or decorative cuts.

The hammered Tsuchime finish creates small air pockets between the blade and the food. This helps reduce suction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the side of the knife while you slice.

V-1 Gold steel is a high-carbon stainless steel known for its excellent edge retention and balance. While it is harder than standard kitchen knives, it is relatively easy to maintain with a whetstone or a honing rod, making it a great choice for home cooks.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and harsh detergents can damage the Pakka wood handle and dull the blade's edge; it should always be hand-washed and dried immediately after use.

No, this model does not feature a full tang. It uses a traditional Japanese-style handle construction, which keeps the knife lightweight and nimble for precise, delicate work.
