Hitohira HG Petty (Utility Knife) 135mm

Hitohira HG Petty (Utility Knife) 135mm

A seriously good-value Japanese petty knife at a heavily discounted price.

The Hitohira HG range is a budget-friendly Japanese knife line that still offers proper performance. This 135mm petty is light, practical, and easy to use — perfect for smaller prep jobs, trimming, peeling, herbs, fruit, and anything where a full-size chef knife feels like too much.

At the core is Swedish stainless steel, giving you good corrosion resistance, easy maintenance, and clean cutting performance for the price.

This is not a flashy handmade knife. It’s just a sharp, practical Japanese utility knife that does the job properly.

Why this works

• Swedish stainless steel core

• Good corrosion resistance

• Thin edge geometry for clean cutting

• Lightweight and easy to control

• Practical 135mm petty / utility knife size

• Excellent value at this discounted price

Who it’s for

• Home cooks wanting an affordable Japanese knife

• Chefs needing a low-cost utility knife

• Anyone wanting a small knife for detail work

• People wanting Japanese knife performance without spending big

Leigh’s 2 cents

I’d happily recommend it to a home cook, apprentice chef, or professional who wants a practical petty knife without spending a fortune.

For $99.99, this is a lot of knife for the money.

I’m clearing this range and won’t be restocking it, so this is a good chance to grab a practical Japanese petty knife at a very sharp price.

Hi, my name is Leigh, and I’m a chef from Newcastle, Australia.

I’ve been cooking professionally for over 20 years in some of Australia’s top restaurants, and I’m currently cooking at The Signal Box in Newcastle.

Over the years (since 2018), I’ve put together a small collection of high-quality Japanese knives and whetstones that I personally recommend. Basically, if I wouldn’t use it in a professional kitchen, I don’t sell it. Read More
