Made by Takamura Hamono in Echizen, Japan, this 150mm petty belongs to the maker’s Migaki series, bringing its exceptionally thin grind to smaller kitchen tasks. The slender blade and fine tip offer precise control when preparing fruit, slicing shallots or trimming boneless meat, making it a useful companion to a larger chef’s knife. Its SG2 powdered steel core combines lasting sharpness with corrosion resistance, while stainless cladding and a polished migaki finish give the blade a clean, understated appearance. A Western red pakkawood handle completes this nimble utility knife, equally suited to detailed preparation and quick everyday cutting.
