Kaizen II 3.5-Inch Pakka Wood Paring Knife

Details & care

This ultrasharp paring knife is ideal for smaller tasks like peeling vegetables, creating garnishes and segmenting citrus.

How it's made: The core, forged from resilient FC61 super steel, is protected by a stunning 48 layers of stainless steel. The blade's gorgeous Damascus flower pattern is dramatically darkened through acid dipping. The double FRIODUR® ice-hardened blade makes for improved corrosion resistance and astonishing durability. Artisans hand-hone the blades using the venerable four-step Honbazuke method.

Additional features: The blade is balanced by a substantial D-shaped handle made of black pakkawood. Effortless to hold, the classic Japanese D-shape handle offers a comfortable grip for stress-free cutting.

Sizing information: 0.4 lb.; 12" x 3" x 1"; 3.5" blade length.
