Absolutely amazing knife in every way
Posted by DroneShot FPV on 27th Apr 2025
I have always wanted a "petty" sized Japanese hand forged knife, but I never could find EXACTLY what I wanted. I discovered Knife Japan a few weeks ago, and saw this masterpiece that was everything I wanted.... The size, the handle, the steel I prefer (I love Aogami 2, Aogami Super, and Shirogami 2... well, I love many others too, but still... haha), and it was hand forged in Warikomi style (San Mai is great too, but LOVE Warikomi blades).. So, I decided to order this awesome little knife along with another. Fast forward to the 2nd day after my order, and BOOM, she arrived.... I AM BLOWN AWAY at how amazing this knife is. I am a professional sharpener, so the first thing I do is sharpen it, not because it needed it, but because that's just what I do, I love my own edges, but it wasn't necessary, it was great out of the box. But after sharpening I looked it over some more, and this knife, for what I am looking for, and everything about it is simply PERFECT. I plan on buying several more, both for myself and for gifts. I absolutely love using it, and you will too!
If you are looking for a petty, this is it, if you are looking for a smaller knife for the kitchen to do what smaller sized knives do, this is it. If you are looking for an extremely cool hand made knife, this is it.. You might see a pattern here.. haha
Last point, Knife Japan is now my go to place to order from. Michael is the absolute best, and will help you out if you have any questions, and makes excellent recommendations.. DO NOT HESITATE to order from Knife Japan... I have found my home, just as this knife has found it's home!

Outstanding Kitchen Tool!
Posted by Erik on 28th May 2023
I've never had a lot of use for a petty. Until now! I love this little knife and I reach for it quite frequently. It is perfect for many things from quick utility tasks to deboning chicken legs and all manner of things in between. Since this knife arrived it has become one of my most used. The grind is excellent, the profile is near perfection, and steel feels great. Amazing value!
