The TOJIRO BASIC Petty 135mm is built with a longer tang and three stainless steel rivets for added strength and durability. It uses the same VG10 core steel found in TOJIRO’s higher-end lines, clad in 13 chrome stainless steel for easy maintenance and corrosion resistance. The grind and thickness are tuned for home use, offering a great balance of cutting performance, durability, and ease of sharpening at an excellent price.
With a 135mm blade length, this petty sits right in the sweet spot for versatility. It handles both board work and in-hand tasks with ease, making it ideal for trimming, slicing, and detail work. The blade has a nice, sturdy feel and moves cleanly through herbs, fruits, and smaller ingredients while still offering good control for more precise cuts.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry immediately after use. Do not use on hard items like bones or frozen foods. Use a quality whetstone for sharpening and avoid dishwashers to preserve edge life and handle condition.
