Discover unmatched precision and craftsmanship with the KOTAI 4-inch Paring Knife, a handcrafted essential designed for chefs who demand accuracy in every cut. Built from high-end 440C Japanese stainless steel, this blade contains twice as much carbon as typical premium steels, giving it exceptional hardness (HRC 60 ±1), razor sharp edge retention, and long lasting performance for peeling, trimming, coring, and detailed prep work.

Its signature Tsuchime hammered finish creates micro air pockets between the blade and food, reducing drag and preventing sticking for smoother, faster cuts.

Perfect weight distribution allows effortless maneuverability, making detailed knife work feel natural and fatigue free.
