Yoshita Handicraft Design Office
Paring knife

A refreshingly sharp cut and
a light, easy-to-handle size.
One will serve you well.

Yoshita Handy Works Design Office’s knives are made of beautiful all-stainless steel. At kikkake, we offer a Gyuto (Chef's Knife) that we recommend for daily cooking, but this petty knife is a handy, agile knife that is shaped like a miniature version of the Gyuto.
It also features a refreshingly sharp edge, made in the traditional manufacturing region of Seki City, Gifu Prefecture. It's very convenient for quickly cutting ingredients, such as slicing cherry tomatoes, peeling fruit, or finely chopping garnishes and herbs. Especially when peeling apples, the blade's heel (chin) is close to the handle, allowing for stable finger pressure and surprisingly easy peeling.

Its most distinctive feature is the handle.
It has a more flexible grip than it looks,
and despite its thickness, it's light and exceptionally easy to use.

While the sharpness of the knife is certainly a highlight, even more distinctive is the handle, seamlessly crafted from the blade. Its shape, resembling a folded flat stainless steel bar, initially conveys a metallic sharpness, but when held and used, it offers a comfortable and natural grip. The edges of the stainless steel bar are carefully rounded, ensuring a snug fit in the hand, and the thickness created by the folded design allows for a secure grip in the finger joints, providing stability. Despite this thickness, the center is hollow, making it light. This ingenious design always impresses me with its comfort every time I use it.

All-stainless steel
is rust-resistant and holds its edge well.
Also recommended as a gift.

The blade has a three-layer structure, with rust-resistant stainless steel on both sides and a core of high-hardness, long-lasting high-carbon molybdenum vanadium steel. This makes it resistant to rust and allows it to hold its edge well. This structure also creates a beautiful, undulating metallic boundary along the blade, a captivating functional beauty. It comes in a sleek, handsome box, making it an excellent gift recommendation.

Product Features and Points to Note

• After use, simply wash, wipe dry, and it will be fine.
• If the sharpness dulls, sharpeners are acceptable, but it is recommended to use a whetstone if possible.
