Petty / Paring Knife

A petty knife (Paring knife) is a small knife with a blade length of 150mm or less, commonly used for peeling vegetables and fruits, as well as intricate cutting tasks.
Due to its maneuverability, it is ideal for peeling small vegetables like potatoes, slicing fruits, and decorative cutting.
Additionally, its compact size makes it convenient to carry, making it a popular choice for camping and outdoor activities.　 When taking it outdoors, use a knife sleeve and ensure it is stored in a bag in a way that does not reveal it as a blade.

At our store, petty knives are categorized into Japanese-style and Western-style based on the type of handle.
