Touroku Sakai SG2 Petty 150mm – Pakka Wood Handle
Compact, sharp and built for precision. The Touroku Sakai SG2 Petty 150mm combines high-performance Japanese powder steel with a practical Western-style pakka wood handle, creating a versatile knife for detailed everyday prep.
The 150mm Petty sits perfectly between a small paring knife and a full-size chef’s knife. It gives you considerably more control than a Gyuto while still having enough blade length for slicing and board work.
SG2 Powder Steel
The standout feature of this knife is its SG2 (R2) stainless powder steel blade.
SG2 is a premium Japanese steel valued for its ability to take a very fine edge while providing excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. Compared with more conventional stainless steels, SG2 allows for a harder, high-performance blade while remaining relatively easy to maintain.
This makes it particularly attractive to cooks who want serious cutting performance without switching to carbon steel.
Why Choose a 150mm Petty?
A good Petty quickly becomes one of the most frequently reached-for knives in the kitchen. The 150mm length is particularly versatile for:
- Trimming and portioning meat
- Removing silver skin
- Preparing fruit and smaller vegetables
- Shallots, garlic and herbs
- Fine slicing and precision work
- General utility preparation
For professional chefs, it makes an excellent companion to a larger Gyuto or Santoku.
Clean, Professional Design
Rather than using Damascus or decorative finishes, this Touroku Sakai keeps things deliberately simple.
The clean blade finish puts the emphasis on steel quality, cutting performance and functionality, giving the knife an understated professional appearance.
Pakka Wood Handle
The Western-style pakka wood handle uses a familiar full-tang construction with three rivets, providing a secure and comfortable grip.
Pakka wood combines natural wood with resin, improving resistance to moisture and making it particularly practical for a knife intended for frequent use.
