AUTHENTIC BLADES KHAU, Asian kitchen knife, blade length 10-13cm

The AUTHENTIC BLADES KHAU paring knife is like the Chuck Norris of knives! With its special, tapered blade, it looks almost like a throwing knife, but it is exactly the right tool for anyone who likes to peel and cut with precision. Thanks to traditional craftsmanship from Vietnam and the extra sharp carbon steel blade, it brings Far Eastern cooking culture into your kitchen. With the KHAU, precision meets tradition: the ideal paring knife for everyday use The KHAU is a real highlight: with its elegant, tapered blade, you can cut very precisely and have a really reliable paring tool at hand. What is special about this knife is that it is made from a single piece of steel. The traditional flaring handle, where the steel is rolled up, fits comfortably in the hand and gives you full control. If the original steel handle seems too rustic for you, we offer the KHAU with a noble wooden handle made of cherry, plum, robinia or sumac. Whether you are peeling and cutting fruit and vegetables or cutting up a delicious steak – the KHAU can do it all. The slim shape allows you to make particularly fine, controlled cuts. Thanks to the razor-sharp carbon steel blade, the kitchen knife glides through everything like Chuck Norris' hand through a wooden board. Efficient peeling with the KHAU vs. Peeler In contrast to the peeler, which often removes much more than just the peel, the KHAU allows complete control when peeling. With the sharp blade, place the knife flat against the bowl and pull it away from you toward the cutting board. You can perfectly control the peeling thickness and, thanks to the curved shape, also work around uneven surfaces. The HKAU shows its strengths especially in fruits and vegetables with thick or irregular skin, such as pumpkin or mango. The blade shape also allows you to peel both straight and curved lines – ideal for long vegetables such as carrots or round fruits such as apples. But even very small fruits with wafer-thin skins, such as physalis or mini kiwis, can be processed economically with the KHAU. Our Asian paring knife: Flexible & versatile, not just for peeling The sharp tip also allows you to precisely remove “eyes” from potatoes or inedible parts from fruit. With a little practice, the KHAU is much more versatile than a regular peeler. Because it is not only suitable for peeling, but also for precise filleting and cutting of all kinds of foods. What's particularly exciting is that with the sharp blade you can carve artistic garnishes out of fruit and vegetables, as is common in Asian cuisine - from simple flowers to elaborate animal and plant motifs. Handmade kitchen knife, with attention to detail Every KHAU is carefully handcrafted in small Vietnamese family businesses. The blades are cut out individually and sharpened by hand, the handles are individually flanged. This elaborate manufacturing process makes each knife unique with its own character. Small handcrafted details underline the authentic production and uniqueness of each individual piece. Carbon steel: With the right care, it stays razor sharp for a long time The KHAU is made of carbon steel, which is characterized by its exceptional sharpness and excellent resharpenability. Read more about this in our guide to sharpening knives yourself. However, the material is not rustproof and therefore requires some attention when maintaining it. With the right care, it will become your faithful companion in the kitchen and remain as precise as Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick: •Wash by hand after use and dry carefully •Not suitable for the dishwasher •Regularly oiling the blade with knife oil extends its lifespan Versatile in two practical sizes The KHAU is available in two different blade lengths: The 10 cm version is perfect for delicate work and smaller fruit, while the 13 cm version can also handle larger tasks with ease.
