The Imayo petty knife is a cross between a paring knife and small utility. Great for tasks like mincing garlic and ginger, with a little extra length this petty knife is a helpful tool in the kitchen.

It’s ideal for rounded and thin skinned fruit and vegetables. The small size gives you complete control over the tip and edge of the blade. It can also be used for mincing garlic cloves or ginger.

The tsuchime, or hammered finish, creates air pockets that help food release from the blade.
