Reigetsu Petty 130mm

TOJIRO has been producing knives in Sanjo City, Japan for decades, and the Reigetsu line - formerly called Fuji Narihira - represents the company at its most accessible. All finishing work and inspection happen at the Sanjo City factory. Initial grinding and heat treatment are completed in China. That production approach is how TOJIRO keeps this line priced for cooks who need a reliable knife without a long lead time for maintenance.

The petty is the knife that handles everything a larger blade cannot - peeling, trimming, detail work, and small prep tasks that reward a compact, nimble blade. This one is built from 4116 Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel, a workhorse alloy used widely in professional kitchens for its easy care and solid edge retention at moderate hardness. The construction is stamped mono steel with a 2mm spine and a short 126mm blade. The black micarta scales are durable, non-porous, and hold up to heavy use. A solid entry-level petty that does what it needs to do.

What Customers Are Saying: Reviewers find this petty reliable and precise for produce work and smaller prep tasks, and note the sharpness out of the box exceeds expectations at the price point. Professional cooks mention using it nightly on the line, and several have purchased multiple units as gifting options alongside larger knives in their kits.

Care Instructions: 4116 stainless is low maintenance. Hand wash and dry after use. Avoid the dishwasher. Sharpen on quality water stones when needed.
