The Kohetsu VG-5 Petty 150mm is a nimble and efficient small knife designed for cooks who want precise performance without unnecessary fuss. VG-5 is part of the V-Gold family of stainless steels and offers a nice blend of toughness, ease of sharpening, and reliable edge performance. It sharpens more easily than many stainless alloys and takes a clean, refined edge that holds up well through long prep sessions.
The 150mm petty is one of the most versatile sizes in the kitchen. Its slender profile and fine tip make it ideal for slicing, trimming, detail work, and all the small- to medium-sized tasks where a full chef's knife feels too large. Many cooks find a good petty becomes their go-to blade for everyday prep.
This Kohetsu petty features a hammered tsuchime finish that helps reduce sticking while giving the blade added visual appeal. The knife is completed with a comfortable Western handle made from black pakka wood and fitted with a stainless bolster for durability and balance. It is a great choice for anyone looking for a capable, easy-maintenance introduction to Japanese cutlery or a dependable addition to an established knife kit.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry after use. Do not put in the dishwasher.
