The Fujimoto Nashiji Petty knife offers exceptional control. Its carbon steel core ensures a razor-sharp edge, while the stainless steel cladding offers durability. The 'nashiji' finish lends unique texture and aesthetic appeal. Well-balanced with a traditional 'wa handle,' the knife shifts weight toward the blade. This petty knife excels at precision tasks like slicing shallots, mincing herbs, and preparing smaller proteins.
