Craftsmanship
Seki Kanetsugu has roots dating back over 700 years to the days when swordsmiths forged katana for samurai. That same attention to detail and steelcraft carries into their kitchen knives. This paring knife uses a fine-grained stainless steel that sharpens easily and holds a keen edge, perfect for all your in-hand work — peeling, trimming, or making quick, delicate cuts.
The handle is contoured for comfort and balance, giving it a confident grip for both professionals and home cooks.
