Info
The petty knife is a versatile and useful kitchen tool with Japanese origins. This type of knife is shorter and thinner than traditional chef knives. Its shape somewhat resembles that of a vegetable knife, but it is slightly longer and has a sharper tip.
The petty knife is designed to perform a variety of tasks in the kitchen, such as cutting fruits, vegetables, smaller cuts of meat, or for precision tasks. Its slim shape and sharp blade make it ideal for detailed cutting operations, such as mincing herbs or slicing garlic and onions.
Due Cigni pays homage to two ancient knife traditions, the Japanese and the Maniago, which have been producing high-quality knives for millennia. In the Hakucho line, the typical Japanese lines with elongated blades and sharp tips merge with the style of Maniago, creating an elegant combination enriched by the precious olive wood handle.
