Miyabi - Kaizen II 7-pc Knife Block Set - Stainless Steel

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. Thoughtfully engineered, the blade features a hybrid shape combining the control of a sheep’s foot profile with the versatility of a spear tip design ideal for intricate off board tasks such as peeling fruits, removing blemishes, or precision carving. Its signature Tsuchime hammered finish creates micro air pockets between the blade and food, reducing drag and preventing sticking for smoother, faster cuts. The knife’s robust hidden full tang construction enhances balance and durability, while the hand polished pakkawood handle provides a comfortable and secure grip for both right and left handed users. Perfect weight distribution allows effortless maneuverability, making detailed knife work feel natural and fatigue free. Every KOTAI knife arrives with premium accessories that elevate both safety and presentation. The handcrafted bamboo saya blade guard ensures elegant and secure storage, while the sustainably grown bamboo storage box offers an eco friendly, gift ready unboxing experience. This knife embodies the brand’s commitment to blending Japanese sharpness with western durability - offering chefs the best of both worlds with no compromise.
