Paring knife - 90 mm blade

The paring knife is the second most used knife, just after the chef's knife. Japanese precision, western robustness. The best of both worlds. * 100% handmade * Ultra sharp 440C Japanese steel * Full tang * Pakkawood handle * Perfectly balanced * Stainless * Saya (scabbard) in pine wood included with each knife * Lifetime warranty * HRC hardness: 59-60 * Weight: 73g Beyond the aesthetic appeal, the hammering of the "Tsuchime" blade creates small air pockets between the blade and the food slices. This ancient Japanese method prevents food from sticking to the blade for a pleasant and quick cut. The KOTAI paring knife has an ideal hybrid shape, combining an almost flat blade edge for maximum precision and a very fine tip for detail work. The blade is forged from 440C steel, a premium steel that combines a high carbon content for hardness and edge life with the optimum amount of chrome to prevent oxidation. The hidden full tang - a single piece of steel running from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle - gives the paring knife ideal balance and exceptional durability.
