Touroku Sakai Blue Super Stainless Clad Petty 135mm

Built in Sakai, Japan, the Touroku Sakai Blue Super Stainless Clad Series combines traditional Japanese knife making with high-performance carbon steel and more approachable daily maintenance. The Petty is a compact utility knife designed for precision-oriented kitchen tasks where agility and control matter most. Ideal for trimming, peeling, slicing smaller ingredients, and in-hand work, the Petty fills the space between a larger chef’s knife and a traditional paring knife while offering excellent versatility. At the core of the blade is Blue Super carbon steel, one of the most respected high-performance Japanese carbon steels available. Blue Super is prized for excellent edge retention, refined cutting feel, and its ability to take an extremely sharp edge while maintaining long-term cutting performance. The blade features stainless Sanmai construction, pairing the Blue Super carbon steel core with softer stainless cladding for improved durability and easier maintenance. The geometry feels thin and efficient through smaller ingredients while maintaining enough structure for confident everyday use. The Japanese-style wa handle keeps the knife lightweight, nimble, and responsive in hand, making it especially comfortable for precise prep and detail work. Its traditional construction helps maintain balance without adding unnecessary weight. The compact 135mm profile provides excellent maneuverability while still offering enough blade length for utility prep on the board. Whether trimming proteins, working with herbs, citrus, shallots, garlic, or smaller fruits and vegetables, the knife feels agile, controlled, and precise. For cooks looking for a refined utility knife with excellent edge retention, easier maintenance than fully reactive carbon steel, and precise cutting performance in a compact format, the Touroku Sakai Blue Super Petty is a strong everyday companion. Note: This Petty Knife has an exposed core of Blue Super carbon steel, which is not stainless. Please follow care instructions for Carbon Steel here.
