【Petty Cooking knife 】
A Petty knife is a smaller version of GYUTO(牛刀). As the blade is short, you can easily handle it. The main aim of this knife is to peel or cut fruits, but the sharpness is as excellent as GYUTO, so if you like, you can cut meats, fish, and so forth. However, the length of its edge is just 9-15 cm. Therefore, this would do its best job when you try to make small decorations by cutting vegetables or fruits.
