The Chroma Haiku Paring Knife is a small but super useful knife in every kitchen. It is the perfect knife for cutting and peeling your favourite fruits and vegetables. Thanks to its compact size, it is super easy to use and to store because it fits in drawer of your kitchen. It is suitable for both professional and hobby cooks.

In order to preserve this knife at its best, it is recommended to always wash it by hand and immediately dry it so as to minimize the amount of time it stays in contact with water. If this is done, the blade remains stain-free, and you can enjoy the authentic and beautiful look of this knife for a long while. Therefore, you should never put it in the dishwasher machine.

The small blade of this knife, which is only 12 centimeters long, has two sharp edges that meet in a ‘V’ shape, making it as comfortable to use for left-handed people as it is for right-handed people. Its 30 ° angle slope allows for easy penetration of any food item. The blade is made of high carbon steel with a combination of molybdenum and vanadium that gives the blade great corrosion and stroke resistance.

Furthermore, the handle of this paring knife is made of light honoki wood that was treated in a way that ensures it’s time-proven resistance. It is assembled by using a fixing ring and bamboo wedge; a traditional method in the manufacturing of Japanese knives. This type of assembly meets the hygienic standards in Western professional kitchens, because it prevents tiny food pieces from getting trapped in between the blade and the handle.
