The paring knife gets its name from its main function—removing or “paring” away things like peels or pits from fruits and vegetables. It is ideal for peeling, coring, trimming, decorating, and other detail work.

Its small size gives you complete control over the tip and edge of the blade.

Petty knives are very similar to the common western paring or utility knives. While there is no hard rule about where a petty and paring knife diverge or what application each is most adept at, pettys are often considered ideal for small and delicate tasks on a cutting board while paring knives are better employed in hand.

The Shoso Petty - Paring Knife is a kitchen essential, as it is both functional and low priced.

 
The Shoso Seki Magoroku series is the latest addition of  KAI  brand.

It consists of western type, symmetrical, full stainless steel design knives, with satin finish and non-slip handle for professional use.

The blade is monosteel, with a hardness of 58±1 HRC. It features a Daido 1K6 High Carbon Stainless steel, polished blade and a convex symmetrical ellipsoidal cutting edge of 24° approximately.

The convex, 3 step grinding technology used on the series, reduces the resistance from the cutting edge resulting in a smoother sharpness.

The ergonomic handle is a continuation of the blade, from 18-8 stainless steel material.

The shape of the knives is symmetrical and the knives are functioning in both hands.
