Smaller knives can come in handy for peeling, cutting between one's hands, curving or can used for boning and trimming sinew off meat.  The size of a petty/utility knife is between a chef's knife and paring knife in size, about 10 cm and 18 cm (4 and 7 inches) in length. 

Feature of DP knife.

DP stands for a technology called the Decarburization Prevention method. This technology prevents metal from becoming soft due to the removal of carbon when being heated.

DP technology gives this petty knife hardness.  The hard blade keeps the knife sharper for longer, so you don't have to keep sharpening it. The hardness can however be a disadvantage when it comes to sharpening it, as it is more difficult and requires more skill.
