Petty Similar to this…or this?

Hi All,

Looking for another petty (have a 150mm that I use a lot) in the 100-120mm range. This one seems to hit all the marks and the price isn’t bad.

Spyderco Itamae Petty Premium Kitchen Knife with 4.59" SUS410 Super Blue Stainless Steel Blade and Burl G-10 Handle - PlainEdge - K15GPBNBK https://a.co/d/hMRsM95

Anything else that hits these specs and profile I should be looking at? Or is this the one?

I don’t use my paring much at all, but I find myself wishing I had a smaller knife than my 150mm.

Thanks so much!

I am a big Spyderco fan but there is no way I'd spend that kind of money on that line of knives.

I suspect they're thick ground and handle heavy.

Thanks man. Other options out there? That 4-4.5” is a sweet spot I’m looking for without being too tall.

In that price range and general profile I'd be contacting @MSicardCutlery and asking for one in either AEB-L or 52100.

I have the original 165mm from Matt in the below profile and it is awesome. He's made it in a few sizes now.

Thanks. I’m pretty set on carbon, but that could be too limiting of a factor?
