Overview
The Shibata Koutetsu Aogami Super Migaki Petty 80 mm is Shibata-san’s laser-ground answer to precision prep. Forged with an Aogami Super core wrapped in protective stainless cladding, it delivers insane bite and edge retention while keeping maintenance reasonable. At just 80 mm long, it slips effortlessly through herb chiffonades, shallot brunoise, and on-board garnish work—perfect for pros and home cooks who crave scalpel-level control in cramped spaces.
Hand-sharpened by Takayuki Shibata himself, the mirror-polished migaki finish lets ingredients glide, and the ultra-thin spine (under 2 mm) makes it a true laser. An octagonal rosewood handle with black pakkawood ferrule provides a confident, ambidextrous grip without adding bulk.
Common Questions
Q: Is this 80 mm petty only for professional chefs?
A: Not at all! Its compact size, stainless cladding, and stellar factory edge make it a low-maintenance upgrade for home cooks who want Japanese knife performance without the learning curve.
Q: How do I care for Aogami Super steel?
A: Dry the blade immediately after use and avoid prolonged contact with acidic foods. A light coat of camellia oil before storage prevents patina and rust.
Q: Does it come with a saya or guard?
A: A saya is optional; we recommend adding a 95 mm felt-lined blade guard to protect the ultra-thin edge in your drawer or roll.

Tony responded to my question quickly to assure me that this petty was hand sharpened by Takayuki Shibata himself and is a handheld laser that did not require additional sharpening. I made the purchase feeling fortunate that I found a Shibata in stock.
My knife was quickly shipped and arrived packaged securely with instructions to care for my new knife. Stickers and more information were supplied in the box with the knife.
The fit and finish on this knife is amazing! The choi and spine are silky smooth while the migaki finish looks great. This knife is light, comfortable to hold, thin and incredibly sharp. This will not be my last Shibata Koutetsu.
Tokushu knife has good products and great customer service. Thanks Tony!
