The Kai Housewares Pro 3.5" Paring Knife is a compact, precision-cutting tool built for serious kitchen performance. Designed for everything from peeling and trimming to delicate garnishing, this paring knife delivers exceptional control in a durable, professional-grade package. It’s engineered with the same attention to detail found in high-end Japanese cutlery, making it a staple for any chef who demands performance without compromise.
At the core of this knife is a 3.5" blade made from Japanese AUS6M stainless steel, offering solid corrosion resistance, excellent edge retention, and easy maintenance. The blade features a hammered and polished finish—more than just a visual touch, this textured surface reduces drag and helps prevent food from sticking as you cut. Whether you’re working with fruits, herbs, or trimming meats, this blade performs with a level of precision that exceeds expectations.
The full tang construction ensures strength from tip to handle, providing confidence with every cut. The handle is made from black POM (polyoxymethylene), a dense, highly durable thermoplastic designed to stand up to heat, moisture, and the rigors of daily kitchen use. Three stainless steel rivets secure the handle to the tang, giving it a classic look with modern resilience. The slim profile and smooth finish make it comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver, especially for fine detail work.
Sharpened by hand to a 16-degree cutting angle, the Kai Pro paring knife is razor-sharp out of the box and ready for precise slicing and trimming. At 8" overall and just 2.72oz, it’s lightweight and perfectly balanced, reducing fatigue during extended prep sessions.
Whether you’re a professional chef or a dedicated home cook, the Kai Housewares Pro 3.5" Paring Knife is a hardworking tool with the refinement and edge retention of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Order it today from SMKW!
