KAI Seki Magoroku Japanese Paring Knife 9 cm
Compact paring knife for intricate trimming and peeling
Precision prep work requires agile control that large chef's knives cannot provide. Tailored for line cooks, pastry chefs, and discerning home cooks, this Japanese paring knife delivers effortless control when shaping garnishes, coring produce, or executing intricate in-hand peeling.
Composite stainless-clad blade construction
At the core lies a high-carbon stainless steel cutting edge bound in a three-layer clad structure, combining keen sharpness with exceptional corrosion resistance. Honed to a fine double bevel, the blade glides cleanly through delicate skins and dense roots alike, offering an ambidextrous geometry suitable for both left- and right-handed prep.
Seamless bolster and reinforced wood handle
The handle is crafted from laminated reinforced wood using a rivetless internal shaft structure that resists moisture penetration during busy kitchen shifts. A smoothly welded stainless steel bolster creates a hygienic, dirt-resistant seal against the blade body, ensuring a balanced 59 g total weight that prevents hand fatigue through repetitive peeling and slicing tasks.
To preserve edge integrity and wood lustre, hand wash after use, dry promptly with a soft towel, and store safely away from bones or frozen foods.
