Japanese Kitchen Knife Petty | Kyoto Daimonji VG10

Discover the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship with this handcrafted Japanese petty knife, made in Kyoto and certified as a Traditional Craft by the Governor of Kyoto Prefecture. The petty knife is the smaller version of the Gyutou (Japanese chef’s knife). Compact yet versatile, its 150 mm blade makes it ideal for everyday cooking tasks such as slicing fruits, trimming vegetables, chopping herbs, and performing delicate cuts that require precision. It is often called a fruit knife, but its true strength lies in its ability to handle a wide variety of kitchen tasks with ease. Crafted with a VG10 stainless steel core, this Japanese kitchen knife offers superior sharpness, excellent edge retention, and long-lasting durability. VG10 steel contains high levels of carbon and cobalt, making it harder and sharper than standard stainless steel while also being highly resistant to rust and corrosion. Each knife is engraved with the name “Manamoto no Hisahide”, representing its authenticity, heritage, and exceptional quality. Elegant and practical, this Kyoto Daimonji petty knife is a must-have for anyone who values Japanese kitchen knives and the tradition of fine Japanese craftsmanship.
