Petty knives (Utilty) have a similar profile as the gyuto but smaller, commonly ranging from 12 to 15cm. A shape most often used next to any larger all-purpose blade (gyuto & santoku) although there are many households where this is the go-to knife. Very suitable for the smaller cutting tasks such as cleaning, portioning and peeling fruits and vegetables and cleaning smaller cuts of meat or fish.
Paring knives are more used for in-hand tasks such as peeling, trimming, scoring and cleaning and fruit or vegetable.
