Petty-utility knives are versatile, compact kitchen tools for precise cutting of small ingredients. They excel at tasks requiring delicate control, like peeling and trimming produce. Their manageable size and balanced weight make them ideal for precise handling of both produce and proteins.
They come in various sizes to accommodate different kitchen tasks, with lengths typically ranging from compact 3-inch paring knives ideal for intricate work to more substantial 6-inch mini slicers that offer additional cutting surface while maintaining maneuverability.
