The Tsunehisa G3 Migaki Petty 135mm is one sweet little cutter! The blade is fashioned from G3 stainless steel. G3 is also known as Ginsan, Ginsanko or Silver 3 and is one of our favorite stainless alloys. It has a very fine grain to it and many people see it as a stainless version of the best carbon steels. The blade is constructed with a softer stainless cladding to make it lighter and more resilient to shocks. This makes for a very easy-to-maintain tool.
At 135mm, the Tsunehisa G3 Migaki Petty falls into the medium length range of these style of knives. It is a very versatile cutting tool, whether on a board or in hand. The knife also has the ability to tackle garnishes and artistic style cutting tasks with ease. This is a stout and rigid knife that flies though herbs and other small items. The blade is fairly stiff and has a nice profile that allows for a bit of rock chopping.
The knife comes with a really nice oval shape handle made from rosewood and maple. It is perfect for both left- and right-handed users. The handle is as well finished as the blade itself. All around this is a great petty at a very attractive price.Maker: Tsunehisa

I found this to be a great utility knife, not too big, not too small. I gravitate to it frequently for a multitude of tasks. Fit and finish was excellent. All I did was add a urethane finish to the handle. This was my first G3 knife. It was quite sharp out of the box. As much as I love true carbon, I wouldn't hesitate adding another. It's easy to sharpen and gets super sharp without the high maintenance. It's light and nimble. Great knife at this price point.
