Japanese Paring Knife: The 5.5-inch paring knife is sized for peeling, trimming and detail cuts, helping this Japanese fruit knife handle apples, citrus, strawberries, garlic, herbs and small vegetables with precise hand control.
Fruit and Vegetable Prep: This small kitchen knife works well for fruit peeling, vegetable trimming, seed removal and garnish work, giving home cooks a compact peeling knife for tasks that feel oversized with a chef knife.
Petty Knife Control: Inspired by a Japanese petty knife, the compact blade helps guide short cuts around curved fruit, tomato stems, garlic cloves and small ingredients, supporting cleaner prep without using a larger kitchen knife.
San-Mai Hand-Forged Steel: The 3-layer 9Cr18MoV high carbon stainless steel blade is hand forged and heat treated to about HRC 60±2, helping this Japanese knife balance hardness, toughness and a stable cutting edge.
Rosewood Handle and Storage: The octagonal rosewood handle helps guide grip orientation during peeling and trimming. The sandalwood box keeps this Japanese kitchen knife neatly stored between uses.
