The Hakami Ajisai paring knife is perfect for tasks that require precision and maneuverability!
A compact, precise blade
The 9-cm blade features an office-style profile, a shape particularly well-suited for precision work. It allows you to peel an apple, trim the ends off a vegetable, chop a shallot, or make small cuts directly on a cutting board. Its smooth cutting edge ensures a consistent cut without a serrated effect, making it ideal for a variety of culinary tasks.
Made of 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel, its composition is designed to combine hardness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. The San Mai finish refers to a multi-layered metal construction, recognizable by the visible lines on the blade. This design gives the knife a refined appearance while reinforcing its identity as a kitchen knife.
With a total length of 20.5 cm, the knife remains well-balanced and easy to control. Its size is ideal for short strokes, close-up cuts, and tasks requiring precision.
A comfortable Pakka handle
The handle is made of Pakka, a material composed of wood fibers impregnated with resin. This construction provides good stability and a surface suitable for regular use in the kitchen. Its black and gray color complements the San Mai finish of the blade, creating a sleek and contemporary look.
Its oval shape naturally fits the palm, allowing you to hold the knife with control during small cutting tasks. This shape accommodates various grips, whether you’re working on a cutting board or directly over a bowl. The handle also contributes to the overall balance of this kitchen utensil, thanks to its compact design that reduces fatigue during repetitive tasks.
This paring knife can complement a chef’s knife or a santoku in a kitchen set. It handles tasks that require a short, maneuverable, and easily controlled blade.

Usage and Care Instructions
Use this kitchen knife on a wooden or soft cutting board to preserve the blade’s sharpness. Avoid frozen foods, bones, and cutting on hard surfaces. Hand-wash the blade with a soft sponge, then dry it immediately. Dishwasher use is not recommended to preserve the steel, the San Mai finish, and the Pakka wood handle. Store it in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a suitable protective case. Regular sharpening with a whetstone helps maintain an effective cut.
