Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Reviews

Excellent to everyday work

"Beauty of an everyday knife. Small, light weight, nice to handle even with larger hands it’s comfortable and good grip. Like all Tojiro in this class it’s top notch quality"

— Jon M. (5/5)

Perfect companion knife

"After using the Tojiro Classic Gyuto, adding the TOJIRO Classic Petty 120mm felt like a natural next step. This knife is compact, extremely sharp, and wonderfully precise — ideal for peeling, trimming, and detailed work. The Petty 120mm quickly became one of my most-used knives in the kitchen. A great choice for anyone looking for a high-quality utility knife and a perfect complement to a Gyuto from the same series."

— Serghei I. (5/5)

Great knife

"I love the knife and so does my wife. Very sharp and very light."

— Nathan D. (5/5)

Five stars isn’t enough

"I had the pleasure of being helped by Liam at Knifewear, and I can honestly say he’s one of the smoothest, most knowledgeable, and kindest salespeople I’ve ever come across. He took the time to walk me through different options, explain the craftsmanship behind each knife, and helped me find the perfect Japanese knife for my needs. Liam’s passion for the craft is contagious, and his low-pressure, informative approach made the whole experience feel more like a conversation than a sale. I walked out not just with a beautiful knife, but with a genuine appreciation for the art behind it. Highly recommend visiting Knifewear—and if you can, ask for Liam."

— Christoph S. (5/5)

Little pisser!

"Great little petty knife perfect for cutting tomatoes and and citrus, also can use for line work, 100% recommend"

— Silas B. (5/5)

Hey, don’t sleep on these

"Hey, don’t sleep on these Tojiros. Great still, amazing, extremely sharp. Easy maintenance, stainless steel. Even those stamped Tojiros are no joke, (you know, the ones with red handles), I own a few, very practical knives for daily tasks. Beautiful clean finish, again the sharpness with these blades is amazing on every cut. Best regards to Knifewear Team."

— Anri M. (5/5)

Very sharp and easy to handle

"We moved from a paring knife to the Tojiro Classic Petty knife for tasks like slicing fruits and small vegetables. This knife works really well, it glides easily through items like tomatoes and broccoli without any effort, and is very lightweight. I would recommend this as the top choice for a secondary knife in the kitchen"

— Nishant S. (5/5)

Tojiro as a gift for my mother

"Gave it to my Italian mother that is getting older instead of watching her lug around a 10” German steel giant, she was stunned by its lightness and the edge on it. As her first experience with a Japanese knife I was looking for stainless, a western handle, and a good edge."

— Joe B. (5/5)

Great knife, great service as always.

"Great little knife. Light weight. Well balanced."

— Dylan L. (5/5)
