One of the most versatile and beloved knives in the culinary world today is the Santoku knife, a Japanese all-purpose chef's knife. The name "Santoku" translates to "three virtues" in Japanese, indicating the knife's ability to handle tasks traditionally performed by the Usuba and Gyuto knives, making it a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.

The Petty knife, sometimes referred to as a utility knife, is a smaller version of a chef's knife but larger than a Paring knife. It is perfect for intricate tasks that require more precision than a larger knife can provide, while still being capable of handling more substantial jobs than a Paring knife. The Petty knife is sure to become your go-to tool in the kitchen.

Crafted with pride in Japan, this knife is equipped with a high-quality Western-style handle that extends to the full tang of the blade, seamlessly blending with the hand for comfortable use. The hammered texture of the blade reduces friction and prevents food from sticking, creating a pleasurable cutting experience. Each Yoshihiro knife is meticulously handcrafted by master artisans, ensuring a one-of-a-kind work of art.

In traditional Japanese knife-making, a sharp edge is highly valued, requiring careful maintenance. To keep your knife at its best, sharpen and hone it with water whetstones only. Handwashing and immediate drying are recommended, especially after working with acidic ingredients. Avoid using the knife on hard objects like bones, nutshells, and frozen foods to maintain its integrity.
