Yuri Petty 140 Shizu Hamono

The Japanese knife Yuri Petty from Shizu Hamono is an elegant and precisely crafted kitchen tool. It excels in its lightness and offers easy and comfortable use. This is achieved thanks to a sharp and thin stainless steel blade and a comfortable oval handle made of stabilized wood, polished to a velvety smooth finish.

The Petty is a smaller kitchen knife, whose name comes from the French word petit (small). It has a similar profile to the chef's knife Gyuto – it is characterized by a high and flat heel and slightly curved front edge of the blade, which tapers to a point. It is easy to handle and is often used for precise and detailed work. It is excellent as a versatile knife for peeling, slicing, dicing, crushing, or trimming smaller types of fruits, vegetables, herbs, garnishes, and proteins. It is ideal for those who have limited workspace, want a knife for quick use, or have smaller hands and prefer a lighter alternative to the classic Gyuto knife.

The Yuri series, designed by the brand's female team, focuses on lightweight and thin knives ideal for everyday kitchen use. The knives in this series have the thinnest blades in the entire Shizu Hamono catalog and allow for sharp and precise cuts with minimal effort.
