A petty knife is a small, general-purpose utility knife with a blade that measures between 4 and 6 inches in length. Petty knives are the go-to choice for cutting smaller ingredients and performing delicate tasks with precision, such as slicing vegetables, peeling fruits and mincing herbs.
A petty knife in Japanese or Western kitchens is commonly used to produce cuts that are much more precise. This means they can serve a range of tasks and functions, from peeling, shaping and slicing fruits and vegetables to chopping herbs, making garnishes and deboning poultry and other meats.
There are a few differences between a petty knife and a paring knife. Petty knives are about 150mm in length, while a paring knife is only 105mm long. Secondly, whereas the thickness of a petty knife narrows towards the tip, a paring knife tends to be the same throughout the blade.
In addition, petty knives resemble more traditional blades and have a slight curvature towards the tip, while paring knives have much straighter blades and more robust tips to prevent chipping. Petty knives tend to be heavier than paring knives, need sharpening more often to remain effective, and have shallower and sharper tips for more accurate movement.
