Henckels Miyabi Iki Anniversary 3.5in Paring Knife 1033757

The Henckels Miyabi Iki Anniversary 3.5-inch Paring Knife is a precision tool built for those who demand more than just performance in the kitchen. Designed and crafted in Seki, Japan, this knife embodies the harmony of Japanese tradition and German engineering, offering a blend of beauty, strength, and control that stands apart. It’s more than just a paring knife—it’s a piece of craftsmanship meant to last a lifetime.

At its core is a blade forged from MC66 powder steel, delivering exceptional hardness at 66 HRC. High-carbon MC66 Powder Steel is an ultra-hard ZDP-189 steel. This ensures a cutting edge that holds its sharpness far longer than standard steels. The blade is finished with the traditional Honbazuke method, a three-step hand-honing process that results in a razor-sharp edge. With a fine edge profile and a precise welded construction, this paring knife is ideal for peeling, trimming, and other detailed prep work. Its narrow 3.94-inch blade and slim 0.08-inch spine allow you to work with agility and confidence, while the Shinogi grind at the tip enhances piercing ability for fine cuts.

The handle is just as carefully considered as the blade. Crafted from black maple, its dark brown and black tones create a striking contrast to the patterned Damascus blade. The handle’s concealed tang construction provides strength and balance without compromising comfort, and the smooth curves allow for a secure grip even during longer prep sessions. Finished with a subtle glass coating, the handle not only resists wear but also reflects the artistry that defines the Anniversary Iki collection.

At 0.33 pounds and measuring 8.74 inches overall, the knife is light enough for nimble movements yet solid enough to provide reassuring control. The proportions are thoughtfully balanced, with a 4.09-inch handle that pairs seamlessly with the shorter blade, ensuring you can maneuver with precision. From delicate garnishes to peeling fruit or deveining shrimp, this knife is the tool you’ll reach for again and again when accuracy is everything.

Built in Japan by skilled artisans, the Henckels Miyabi Iki Anniversary Paring Knife is more than a kitchen accessory—it’s a statement piece. It combines uncompromising sharpness, a refined aesthetic, and materials chosen for durability and beauty. Whether displayed proudly on a magnetic strip or put to work daily, it will reward its owner with unmatched performance and timeless elegance.  Experience precision and craftsmanship with the Henckels Miyabi Iki Anniversary 3.5" Paring Knife, featuring a razor-sharp MC66 blade and elegant brown-black maple handle.
