Petty

A petty is the smaller companion for your main chef knife and virtually a must-have second knife after the chef knife. Measuring at ~145mm, the petty is the undisputed champion of above the board, in your hand work. Peeling, paring, trimming meat and chopping small foods like garlic, cherry tomatoes, shallots, strawberries; all made easy and enjoyable with the correct size knife.

A petty is also a great gift - many chefs and especially home cooks will goo to great lengths to  invest in a good chef knife, but often overlook the petty and will be excited to receive one.
