My current Petty is quite a laser, around 2mm at the heel. While I like the cutting feel, I really prefer holding and using a knife with a thicker spine.

So, the plan is to sell my current Petty and buy something else or trade it.

So far I’ve found the following options:
Moritaka Blue 2
Mazaki White 2 KU
Gihei Blue 2 Nashiji
Nihei White 2
Tabata Blue 2
Hinoura White 2 KU

I’m not looking for any help choosing between these, but I am looking for other options that I’ve missed.

Thanks everyone!

Gihei Blue 2 Nashiji

I’ve had the 150 Gihei and it’s very nice. However, If I wanted a 150mm Petty with a decent spine, I’d without question get a hammer finished Yoshikane in SKD. I have the same knife in 105mm and it’s one of my very favorite knives. It’s the only knife I own that isn’t carbon, and I think a petty is at its best in stainless or semi stainless (like SKD which is freaking great steel).

Keep in mind K&T sells the Munetoshi with the plastic bolster though.
