xCompact precision for everyday fruit prep
Meet the HOSHANHO 3.75 inch Paring Knife, a compact tool designed for delicate trimming and precise cuts. Forged from imported Japanese 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel, it benefits from precision quenching and a vacuum cold nitriding process that pushes hardness up to 60 HRC. This combination enhances wear resistance and minimizes sticking while preserving rust resistance and overall toughness for regular kitchen use.
The blade's 3.75-inch length is chosen to feel balanced in the palm, allowing controlled one-handed work with small fruits and vegetables. The edge is honed to 15 degrees for a razor-like initial bite and effortless slicing across berries, citrus segments, and gentle peels.
