The petty knife is the knife that stays in hand. It handles the tasks that fall between the gyuto and the paring knife — trimming, detail work, breaking down smaller ingredients, plating — and in a professional kitchen it sees constant use from the start of prep to the end of service. Tojiro built the PRO series to meet that kind of daily demand, and the 150mm petty delivers the same steel and construction standards found in every other knife in the line.
The blade pairs a VG-10 stainless steel core with 13-chrome stainless steel cladding, a combination that produces a fine, stable edge with good corrosion resistance and straightforward maintenance. At 150mm it occupies the longer end of the petty range, which gives it enough blade length to double as a light slicer or a nimble alternative to a short gyuto when working with smaller proteins or produce. The double bevel grind suits both right- and left-handed cooks. At just 80g the knife is light enough to use for extended periods without fatigue, and the tornado pattern all-stainless handle keeps the grip reliable through wet or greasy conditions without adding bulk. Like every knife in the PRO series, there are no organic handle materials to absorb moisture or require extra care — it wipes clean and stays ready.
Care Instructions: VG-10 stainless steel is low maintenance and well suited to a busy kitchen environment. Hand wash and dry after each use and avoid the dishwasher, which shortens edge life over time. Keep the blade away from hard bones and frozen foods. Sharpen on quality water stones as needed and strop regularly to maintain performance between sessions.
