Shimomura Tsunouma 150 mm Stainless Steel Petty Knife

Reach for this petty knife when a large chef’s knife is more than the task calls for. Its narrow 150 mm blade is suited to trimming produce, peeling and making small decorative cuts in fruit and vegetables.

The knife measures 250 mm overall and weighs 80 g. Its dark handle has two visible rivets, distinguishing this smaller grip from the three-rivet handles on the larger Tsunouma knives.

Hand wash after use with a soft sponge and mild detergent, then rinse and dry the blade, bolster and handle promptly. Avoid soaking the wooden grip or leaving the knife wet in a sink; use a dishwasher only when the product is expressly marked as dishwasher-safe.

Work on a suitable cutting board and protect the edge during storage. Do not force or twist the blade through frozen food or hard bones. When the edge needs restoring, use a whetstone or a professional sharpening service suitable for the knife’s original edge geometry.
