Overview
The Tokushu Knife Ginsan #3 Nashiji Petty 135mm is a compact Japanese utility knife built for precise everyday prep. Its nimble profile is ideal for trimming proteins, slicing fruit, peeling produce, mincing shallots and garlic, and handling quick board work when a full-size gyuto feels unnecessary.
Ginsan #3, also known as Silver #3, is a stainless Japanese steel prized for its clean sharpening feel, practical edge retention, and low-maintenance performance. Stainless cladding and a textured nashiji “pear skin” finish give the blade a refined, rustic appearance while keeping daily care simple.
The lightweight octagonal wa handle combines warm rosewood with a dark ebony ferrule for a secure, balanced grip. At just 79g, this petty feels quick in hand while the slim 1.9mm spine and fine tip support controlled detail work. The knife is sold as a nominal 135mm model; the measured cutting-edge length is approximately 140mm.
Common Questions
What is a 135mm petty knife used for?
A 135mm petty excels at small and medium prep tasks such as trimming meat, slicing fruit, peeling produce, portioning cheese, and working with herbs and aromatics. It bridges the gap between a paring knife and a chef knife.
Is Ginsan #3 stainless?
Yes. Ginsan #3 is a fully stainless steel that offers carbon-like sharpening feedback with much better corrosion resistance. Hand washing and prompt drying are still recommended.
Is this knife right- or left-handed?
The double-bevel edge and octagonal handle make it comfortable for both right- and left-handed cooks.
