Refined, versatile, and steeped in tradition, the Tosa Ginsan Stainless Petty Knife is a handcrafted Japanese utility knife designed for precision in everyday cooking. Hand-forged in Kochi, Japan by the esteemed Kurotori blacksmith workshop, this knife embodies over 130 years of Tosa Uchihamono craftsmanship. Each blade is made using Ginsan (Silver #3) stainless steel, prized for its superb sharpness, rust resistance, and ease of maintenance—delivering the cutting performance of carbon steel with the convenience of stainless.

Slightly larger than a standard petty knife at 4.5 inches, the Tosa Ginsan Stainless Petty Knife offers added versatility for tasks like peeling fruit, trimming vegetables, or working with small cuts of meat and fish. Its compact size also makes it ideal for cooks with smaller hands or those seeking a more agile alternative to a santoku or bunka knife. The ergonomic walnut wood handle brings warmth and balance, enhancing control and comfort during extended use.

This blade is not only functional—it’s a piece of Japanese forging heritage, created through a seamless process from steel selection to final polish. Whether you’re a home cook or a seasoned chef, the Tosa Ginsan Stainless Petty Knife is a beautiful and reliable addition to your kitchen toolset.
