Masamoto Sohonten VG Series Petty 120 mm, Japanese utility knife
This petty is a nimble utility knife for small slicing, peeling and detailed prep. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Masamoto Sohonten VG Series, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The forged carbon steel takes a keen edge and gains character with use.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for small slicing, peeling and detail. This is a carbon-steel blade, which takes an exceptionally keen edge but reacts with food and water. Hand wash and dry it immediately after use, wipe on a light coat of oil before storage, and expect a natural patina to form over time. Keep it off bone and frozen food, and sharpen on a whetstone to bring the edge back.

Best petty I have owned. Effortless push cuts and the food just falls off the blade.
