Overview
The Tokushu Knife Nashiji Ginsan #3 Petty 150mm with Rosewood Wa Handle is a compact, stainless Japanese utility knife built for precise daily prep. At 150mm, this petty is longer than a paring knife but more nimble than a gyuto, making it ideal for trimming proteins, slicing fruit, peeling citrus, mincing small aromatics, and handling quick board work when a larger chef knife feels unnecessary.
Ginsan #3, also known as Silver #3, is a stainless Japanese steel valued for its clean sharpening feel, practical edge retention, and easy day-to-day care. It gives many cooks the sharpening feedback they like from carbon steel while offering much better corrosion resistance. The stainless cladding and nashiji “pear skin” finish add texture and character while keeping maintenance simple for home cooks and professional kitchens.
The rosewood wa handle keeps the knife light, balanced, and comfortable in a pinch grip. This is a great petty for cooks who want a refined Japanese knife that is easy to maintain, easy to sharpen, and versatile enough to stay on the board for everyday small prep.
Common Questions
Q: What is a 150mm petty knife used for?
A: A 150mm petty is used for small and medium prep tasks like trimming meat, slicing fruit, peeling produce, cutting sandwiches, portioning cheese, and working with herbs or aromatics. It is especially useful when a gyuto feels too large but a paring knife feels too short.
Q: Is Ginsan #3 stainless?
A: Yes. Ginsan #3 is a stainless steel, making this petty easier to care for than carbon steel knives. You should still hand wash and dry it after use, but it is a very practical choice for cooks who want Japanese knife performance without heavy maintenance.
Q: Is this a good first Japanese petty knife?
A: Yes. The combination of stainless Ginsan #3 steel, a useful 150mm blade length, and a lightweight wa handle makes this a strong first Japanese petty knife. It is sharp, practical, and forgiving enough for everyday use while still offering the refined cutting feel expected from a quality Japanese blade.
