Forged in Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture, this petty knife is made entirely by Yosimitu Kajiya, an independent third-generation blacksmith who still controls every stage of production himself. With 84 years of combined family experience, his work reflects traditional Japanese forging values — prioritizing steel quality, heat treatment, and performance over visual perfection.
This is a true hand-forged blade, and it looks the part. Expect a raw finish, subtle irregularities, and a rustic character that comes from the forge, not a polishing wheel. If you’re after a flawless, mirror-finished knife with perfectly uniform lines, this handmade petty isn’t your match. This one is for cooks who appreciate honest tools with visible craftsmanship.
The petty knife sits between a paring knife and a slicer, making it one of the most useful precision blades in the kitchen. Slightly longer than a standard paring knife, it offers more reach and control while still feeling nimble in the hand. Chefs rely on petty knives for tasks that demand accuracy — slicing fruits and vegetables, trimming meats and poultry, mincing garlic or onions, and working with delicate herbs.
Sharp, responsive, and easy to maneuver, the petty excels where larger knives feel excessive and smaller knives fall short. It’s often the blade that never leaves the cutting board during prep.
