At the shop we consider them to be much more useful than paring knives with the added length, while said length doesnt get in the way when doing delicate tasks like capping strawberries or bruniose shallots and garlic. The added length also allows this knife to be use for butchery tasks be in boning out a pork shoulder, breaking down whole poultry, or even small fish. If the gyuto (or santoku, or bunka, we don't judge) is used for all your prep work on the board, the petty is for all your in hand prep needs and is the second most important knife to add to your collection!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Stainless Steel Knife Care\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=i1WsRFdAYmg\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnsure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAvoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARP Knife Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45836510920893,"sku":"STYLK-301","price":296.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/6946\/3997\/files\/Makoto_Kurosaki_Damascus_VG10W_Petty_150_mm.jpg?v=1761191949","url":"https:\/\/shoppa.ca\/products\/makoto-kurosaki-damascus-vg-10w-petty-150-mm","provider":"Shoppa.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
