Shun Knives: Pro Blue Petty 5.5" - VG0016

Shun Knives: Pro Blue Petty 5.5" - VG0016

Larger than a paring knife and smaller than a chef's knife, the Shun Blue Petty is ideal for medium-sized tasks. It nimbly cleans silver skin from tenderloins and portions boneless proteins with ease. The Shun Blue Petty is just the right size for sectioning citrus, from grapefruit to limes. Use it in hand to peel a potato, but then use the same knife to slice the potato for au gratin. It's handy for board work and provides good knuckle clearance. It beautifully stems and seeds peppers, shaves garlic, and makes itself generally useful for any task that requires accuracy, agility, and efficient cutting.
