A Knife Finished for Your Left Hand

Most double-bevel knives are marketed as ambidextrous, but many are subtly optimized for right-handed use. The NAGOMI Professional is different — each knife is carefully finished for left-handed users, so the blade moves naturally through ingredients with better control and less resistance.

The Petty Knife: Precision in a Compact Blade

The petty knife is the go-to for detailed kitchen work — peeling, trimming, and preparing small ingredients with precision. With a blade length of 120mm (4.7 in.), it's compact enough for fine control, yet sharp enough to handle a wide range of prep tasks.

Cutting Performance Built on a Trade Secret

The blade is made from a proprietary stainless steel developed exclusively by Mitsuboshi Cutlery. Designed to deliver a cutting feel close to carbon steel while remaining easy to maintain, the exact composition is — true to the craft — a closely guarded secret.

About Mitsuboshi Cutlery

Founded in 1873 in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture — Japan's historic center of blade making — Mitsuboshi Cutlery has spent over 150 years refining the art of the Japanese kitchen knife. The NAGOMI Professional series reflects that heritage: knives made for cooks who care about the details.

The Petty rounds out the NAGOMI Professional collection of four left-handed kitchen knives, hand-finished in Seki by Mitsuboshi Cutlery. It's the smallest of the four, and the one most cooks use the most.
