Designed for cooks who value finesse over force, this compact chef’s knife bridges the gap between a petty and a full-size gyuto. The 130 mm blade slips into tight spaces, gliding through shallots, garlic, herbs, citrus, and precise trimming with ease. At only 75 g, it feels almost weightless—accelerating quickly and stopping exactly where you intend.
Dialed for control: a 235 mm overall length and a balanced 100 mm handle sit naturally under a pinch grip. The shorter blade encourages a relaxed wrist angle and a low tip for fine brunoise, chiffonade, and detail cuts, while still offering enough heel for everyday prep on smaller boards.
