Overview
The Hatsukokoro Ryuhyo SG2 Damascus Petty 150mm with Olive Wood Handle brings the reach of a utility knife to the small jobs that need close control. Use it to slice fruit, trim boneless meat, prepare shallots, and make precise garnishes. Its narrow blade is easy to maneuver when a full-size gyuto feels cumbersome.
An SG2 powdered stainless steel core holds a fine edge, while stainless Damascus cladding gives the blade its flowing pattern. The migaki finish highlights those layers, and the one-piece olive wood wa handle adds warmth and a comfortable octagonal grip. Natural differences in the grain and Damascus pattern make each knife individual.
This petty is a useful companion to a chef knife for home cooks and professionals. Its thin edge works best with controlled slicing and push cuts. Choose a larger gyuto or santoku for bulky ingredients and extended chopping.
Common Questions
What is a 150mm petty knife used for?
A petty handles small cutting-board tasks such as slicing strawberries, trimming chicken, mincing garlic, and preparing citrus. It offers more reach than a short paring knife while staying compact and easy to control.
Is this SG2 petty suitable for everyday home cooking?
Yes. SG2 combines good edge retention with corrosion resistance, making it convenient for regular kitchen use. Hand wash it and dry both the blade and wooden handle promptly; stainless steel still needs care.
Can left-handed cooks use it?
Yes. The double-bevel blade and octagonal wa handle suit both right- and left-handed use.
Can it cut bones or frozen food?
No. Use this knife for precise cuts through softer ingredients. Avoid bones, frozen food, twisting, and prying, which can damage the fine edge.
Care and Sharpening
Use a wood or soft synthetic surface, such as a Hasegawa cutting board. Never soak the knife or put it in a dishwasher. Store with the edge protected. Light passes on a Tokushu Knife leather strop can refresh the edge between sharpenings. Use suitable whetstones when needed, or choose our knife sharpening service for professional edge preparation.
