Le petty, small but tough!
Le petty is the Japanese equivalent of the European "couteau d'office", a small general purpose knife perfect for peeling, shaping and slicing vegetables or chopping herbs. An all-in one knife that offers comfort and accuracy where larger knives feel excessive. It's the essential complement to a universal kitchen knife. Try it, you'll love it!

Available in several carbon steels, xc75 (standard steel), xc100 (high carbon steel)

Most of my Japanese-style knives feature a cork collar at the front of the handle. Chosen for its natural softness, it feels comfortable and secure where the thumb rests. This detail creates a smooth transition between hand and blade while creating a tight seal at the base of the blade.
