Chroma USA 3.25 Inch Paring Knife

Featuring a plain-edge blade, the Chroma USA 3.25-Inch Paring Knife is a scaled-down version of the versatile chef's knife. This knife, part of the Haiku line of knives, is ideal for peeling and other small-scale or intricate work like removing seeds or cutting small garnishes. The Haiku collection is Chroma's traditional line of knives, inspired by the Japanese art of the sword smith and haiku poetry, the meter and content of which are supposed to be sharpened to a fine edge. A bamboo peg or mekugi is inserted into every Haiku knife where the tang and handle meet, providing added strength and stability. This knife is extremely sharp and should only be sharpened with a Haiku or other ceramic whetstone. The handle is crafted from exquisite honoki wood and the blade features high-grade modern steel construction.

Chroma USA, Inc. is responsible for some of the finest knives you'll find in a modern kitchen. Ideal for use in professional settings as well as at home, these knives have been crafted using the finest and strongest premium-quality steel from Japan. These extremely sharp knives hold their edge for a long time and should be stored in a knife block. You can help maintain a sharp edge to ensure safety by sharpening your knives periodically. For best results, use ceramic sharpening stones rather than metal steel, which will damage fine edges. Wash your Chroma knives in warm water and dry by hand after every use.
