Kikuichi Elite 3.2″ Paring

Similar in weight to many German knives, this WGAD series is popular among people who want a western handle and a Japanese blade. With its fine grain structure and great durability, VG10 is one of the best modern stainless blade steels. The hammered tsuchime finish helps release food from the blade and makes each knife unique.

Hand engraved with the Kikuichi chrysanthemum logo.

Based in Nara, Japan, Kikuichi Cutlery has been producing handmade Japanese blades for over 750 years. Using samurai sword making techniques, our Japanese kitchen knives are revered by chefs worldwide.
