Tsunehisa Ginsan Nawame Petty 135mm
The Tsunehisa Ginsan Damascus Tsuchime Petty 135mm is a finely crafted Japanese utility knife built for precision and versatility. Made with a Ginsan (Silver #3) stainless steel core, it delivers excellent sharpness, strong edge retention, and easy maintenance, making it well suited for both professional and home kitchens. The 135mm petty size is ideal for detailed tasks such as trimming proteins, slicing fruit, peeling vegetables, and fine garnish work.
The blade features an eye-catching Damascus cladding, showcasing layered steel patterns that highlight traditional craftsmanship, while the tsuchime (hammered) finish near the spine helps reduce food sticking and adds a handcrafted aesthetic. Its thin grind allows for smooth, controlled cuts with minimal resistance. Balanced with a lightweight wa-style handle, the knife feels agile and comfortable, promoting accuracy and reduced fatigue during extended prep.
Overall, this petty knife blends beauty, performance, and practicality in a compact, elegant form.
