Discover effortless precision in your kitchen with the KAI HOCHO KAI-144042 Paring Knife. Forged in Seki City—the heart of Japanese cutlery for over 110 years—this vibrant orange powerhouse transforms everyday meal prep into a seamless, joyful experience. Its nimble 11 cm blade, crafted from premium 420 J2 high-carbon stainless steel, glides through fruits and vegetables with surgical accuracy, preserving delicate fibers and enhancing natural flavors.

Kai’s century-plus mastery of metallurgy ensures each blade stays ultra-sharp longer, so you spend less time honing and more time creating.

Innovative carbon treatment locks in sharpness and resists corrosion, giving you confidence that this knife will perform day in and day out.

Comfort meets control in the ergonomically sculpted polypropylene handle. Its natural curves fit your hand like a glove, while a textured, non-porous finish prevents slips—even when your fingers are slick with juice. Balanced to perfection with a subtle full-tang design, this parer reduces wrist fatigue during long prep sessions and feels weightless as you maneuver through intricate tasks.

Its nimble blade glides through firm and tender produce with equal finesse, making intricate garnishes, precise trimming, and delicate peeling worry-free. The robust high-carbon stainless steel resists chips and rust, while the non-porous handle remains odor-free and stain-resistant, satisfying strict hygiene standards. After use, simply hand-wash, towel-dry, and store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block—its vibrant orange handle ensures it’s always within easy reach. .
