Elevate Your Prep with the KYOKU 3.5-Inch Paring Knife

Meet a compact companion from KYOKU's Samurai Series—a 3.5-inch paring knife designed for everyday kitchen precision. Forged from Japanese high-carbon steel, this small blade brings a durable edge and nimble handling to your fruity and veggie prep. Its compact silhouette shines in tight spots, whether you’re peeling a delicate apple or trimming seeds from a pepper. The result is smooth, controlled motion and less effort during small tasks that add up in a busy kitchen.

Precision that Feels Right

The blade is honed to about 13–15 degrees per side, yielding a sharp edge that glides through fruit and vegetables with minimal resistance. This makes tasks like peeling, trimming, and seed removal feel effortless without sacrificing accuracy. The knife’s responsiveness supports quick, clean cuts, helping you achieve consistent results in your daily cooking routine.

Balance and Comfort for Daily Use

Crafted with a full-tang construction and an ergonomic Pakkawood handle featuring a signature mosaic pin, the knife offers a balanced feel in hand. The design emphasizes precise control for long sessions of prep work, while the smooth handle provides comfort during repetitive motions. This pairing of blade and grip can help reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like peeling multiple apples or deveining shrimp.

• Small but versatile: ideal for peeling, trimming, and seed removal with confident control.
• Lightweight and maneuverable for delicate cuts and quick prep cycles.

Protection and portability are built in. A protective sheath keeps the blade clean when not in use, and a sturdy case helps you store or transport the knife safely. This setup is well-suited for organized home kitchens or on-the-go meal prep routines where a reliable small knife makes a difference.

• Sheath protects the blade during storage and transport.
• Case provides secure, organized storage for easy access.

KYOKU backs this Samurai Series knife with a lifetime warranty and accessible 24/7 customer service.
