The KAI Luna 4-Inch Citrus Knife is a precision detail tool designed to eliminate the frustration of working with slippery, acidic fruits. A common headache in the kitchen is a blade that skids off waxy rinds or mashes delicate pulp. This knife solves that with a fine-serrated edge that bites into the skin immediately and a soft-grip handle that ensures total control, even when your hands are wet with juice.
Forged from high-carbon DIN1.4116 stainless steel, the blade is engineered specifically to withstand the corrosive citric acids found in lemons and limes. Hand-sharpened to a surgical 16° angle, the serrated geometry is optimized for "bite" rather than sawing, allowing you to penetrate tough skins with minimal downward pressure. The narrow profile is ideal for guided slicing, giving you the precision needed to control the exact thickness of every wheel, wedge, or twist.
In motion, the 4-inch blade radius is ideal for tight, controlled work such as peeling garnishes or segmenting fruit. The hammered Tsuchime finish creates functional air pockets that stop wet slices from sticking to the steel, keeping your workflow fast and clean. At just 2.0 oz, the knife is incredibly light and nimble, while the soft-grip handle provides a stable anchor for the fine-detail work required at a busy bar or prep station.
