Tsunehisa Tsuchime Petty 135mm
Petty – Compact Precision
The petty knife is the Japanese equivalent of a paring or utility knife. Small, nimble and extremely versatile, it’s perfect for tasks that require precision — from peeling fruit and trimming herbs to preparing garnishes and working with smaller cuts of meat. A petty makes the ideal partner to a larger gyuto or santoku.

Tsuchime – Hammered Finish
Tsuchime means “hammered” in Japanese. The stamped tsuchime finish recreates the textured, dimpled surface of hand-hammered blades using a precise pressing technique. These shallow indentations help reduce drag and minimise food sticking during prep, while giving the knife a subtle, crafted appearance.
