Uteki VG10 Damascus Tsuchime Petty 150 mm Ebony Handle
⭐ Chosen by Sharp Knives Malta
A refined Japanese petty knife designed for precision work. Featuring premium VG10 stainless steel, Damascus cladding, a hammered Tsuchime finish, and an elegant ebony Wa handle, it's the perfect companion for detailed kitchen tasks.
Precision Where It Matters
The Petty is the Japanese equivalent of a utility knife. Smaller than a chef's knife but more versatile than a paring knife, it's ideal for tasks that require precision and control.
Perfect for:
- Peeling and trimming fruit and vegetables
- Preparing herbs and garlic
- Boning small cuts of meat
- Slicing cooked meats
- Preparing sandwiches and garnishes
- Any task where a larger knife feels unnecessary
Its compact 150 mm blade offers excellent agility while still providing enough length for everyday kitchen work.
Premium VG10 Stainless Steel Core
At the heart of the blade is VG10 stainless steel, one of Japan's most respected premium knife steels.
It offers:
- Outstanding sharpness
- Excellent edge retention
- High corrosion resistance
- Easy maintenance
- Professional-level cutting performance
VG10 strikes the ideal balance between durability, sharpness, and ease of care, making it an excellent choice for daily use.
Damascus Cladding with Tsuchime Finish
The blade is clad in beautiful Damascus stainless steel, creating the flowing layered pattern that makes every knife unique.
The upper portion features a traditional Tsuchime (hammered) finish, which helps reduce food sticking while adding character and texture to the blade.
The combination of Damascus and Tsuchime creates a knife that performs as beautifully as it looks.
Elegant Ebony Wa Handle
The traditional octagonal ebony handle offers exceptional comfort and balance.
Ebony is valued for its:
- Dense, durable construction

Its lightweight design shifts the balance towards the blade, giving the knife outstanding control during delicate cutting tasks.
