The TOJIRO Color Series is built for cooks who want sharp, dependable Japanese kitchen knives that are easy to maintain. Made in Tsubame, Niigata, Japan, these knives use molybdenum vanadium stainless steel with mono steel construction and a thin, efficient grind. The antibacterial elastomer handles are comfortable, durable, and available in several colors, making them useful for professional kitchens, culinary schools, and home cooks who want reliable Tojiro performance with simple cleanup.
The 150mm petty is the larger of the two Color Series petty sizes - long enough for comfortable board work while still suited for in-hand tasks. At 150mm it bridges the gap between a compact detail knife and a full-size chef knife, handling trim work, citrus, herbs, and small vegetable prep efficiently. The blue handle is bright and distinctive on a crowded line - easy to spot during busy service and a practical choice for kitchens where knife identification matters.
The steel is molybdenum vanadium stainless - a fine-grained, tough alloy widely used in commercial kitchen knives for its combination of corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of sharpening. Heat-treated to 57-59 HRC, it holds a solid working edge through sustained kitchen use and resharpens quickly on quality water stones or a ceramic rod. The thin grind improves cutting efficiency across all tasks. The antibacterial elastomer handle is dishwasher-safe in theory but hand washing is always recommended to extend handle and blade life.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry after use. Avoid the dishwasher for best longevity. Use a wood or soft synthetic cutting board. Avoid bones, frozen foods, and hard surfaces to protect the edge. Sharpen on quality water stones or a ceramic rod.
