Tanaka R2 Black Damascus Ironwood Petty 150mm, 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 Tanaka with a damascus finish, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The stainless steel keeps it easy to look after from day to day.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for small slicing, peeling and detail. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.

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