Fujiwara
The Fujiwara family started as blade forgers over 130 years ago. After WWII, the production of swords was severely limited and the family turned to knives for production industries. Teruyasu Fujiwara IV turned to making kitchen knives as a way to regain some of the family’s previous glory.
Current generation Fujiwara IV, full of knowledge that his forefathers left him in forging, heat treating, and tempering, knives, and swords, created his own line of stainless-clad carbon steel knives. His knives are known by culinary enthusiasts all over the world.

Petty
Petty (Paring/Utility) Knife (ぺティ – pronounced: Petti Naifu). It is said to be derived from French ‘petit’ meaning small or little. The Petty Knife is seen as a small Gyuto making it purposeful for any use in the kitchen.
The petty knife is perfect for smaller working surfaces, cutting smaller sized produce if for users with smaller hands. Its comparison to the Gyuto makes it the ultimate small-sized all-rounder and professional cooks prefer it for its compact size and versatility. It can be used to peel, slice, dice, mince and trim a variety of smaller fruits, vegetables, herbs, garnishes and proteins. It is perfect for light butcher work and delicate tasks such as making precision cuts. The blade profile is well suited for thrust-cutting while the belly allows for rock-cutting.
The Petty knife is generally larger than a Western petty knife. Similar to the Gytuo the Petty knife’s heel to belly is quite flat with a rounded profile to the tip. The sharp, double-bevel edge makes this knife ambidextrous and is the perfect companion in a small kitchen with limited workspace or for users with smaller hands.

Kitchen Samurai Ease of Use Rating: All-Rounder – Easy to use and applies to most food types
