Hitohira Imojiya TH Stainless Petty 150mm Pakka Handle (Wa)















The Imojiya line is known for their budget-friendly western series and premium Damascus patterned wa-handled blades. Fitted to the blade is a gray Pakka wood handle that is built to last and gives this knife a solid, secure in-hand grip. The DSR-1K6 steel used in its construction has very high rust and corrosion resistant properties, however, you may find yourself needing to sharpen it more often than other stainless steels.
A petty (utility) knife probably gets used most often after your all-purpose knives. It can be used to cut small fruits, vegetables, and even some smaller cuts of meats (any many many more things, like cutting through plastic wrapping from a grocery trip!) If you have one, for a quick meal for two, you may just get it done without a chef's knife.
