This Office knife, also called Petty knife, is a typical Japanese cooking tool used on a daily basis for all smaller, precise cutting tasks in the kitchen: Peeling, pitting fruit, chopping herbs, creating garnishes. Once you start using it, you'll always want it within reach.

The blade is VG10 steel with a hammered finish, and the compressed wood handle was  based of the occidental model, which is more comfortable for certain people.

This is an ambidextrous knife with a 50/50 blade angle.
