Kohane 小刃 3.7'' Paring Knife

Kohane 小刃 Paring Knife – Precision in Quiet Motion

Named Kohane (小刃), meaning “delicate edge,” this paring knife is a study in subtlety — a blade honed not for brute force, but for quiet control and meticulous grace. Like the first stroke of ink on handmade washi paper, it moves with precision and restraint, ideal for intricate work that demands a surgeon’s focus and an artisan’s touch.

Laser-etched with a Damascus-style wave pattern and polished to a satin sheen, Kohane reflects the harmony of modern technique and traditional form. Its 7CR17 high-carbon stainless steel construction provides a durable, corrosion-resistant core, while the blade’s 15° V-edge is sharpened through an 8-step process for razor-sharp, reliable performance — perfect for peeling, trimming, coring, or garnishing.

Measuring 9.5 cm (3.5 in) in blade length and just 1.9 cm (0.7 in) in height, this nimble tool offers exceptional control in the hand. The ergonomic handle, carved from richly grained pakkawood, is moisture-resistant, slip-resistant, and contoured to provide a secure, comfortable grip — even during extended prep sessions. Every detail is designed for balance, allowing deft cuts with minimal wrist fatigue.

Though the smallest member of the Tenketsu 天刃 collection, Kohane is no less formidable. It delivers the precision of a scalpel with the soul of a handmade blade — a quiet essential in any refined kitchen.
