The IKKAKU Paring Knife 90mm is a compact and precise Japanese kitchen knife designed for peeling, trimming and detailed preparation work. Manufactured by Shimizu Hamono in Seki, Japan, it combines dependable Japanese craftsmanship with a durable, low-maintenance design suitable for both professional and home kitchens.
Its slim 90mm blade offers excellent control when working with smaller ingredients. Ideal for peeling fruit and vegetables, removing blemishes, trimming produce, coring and carrying out delicate garnishing tasks, the lightweight profile allows accurate cutting both on the chopping board and in the hand.
The blade is crafted from Japanese AUS-8 high-carbon stainless steel, produced by the respected Aichi Steel Corporation. Known for its reliable balance of sharpness, toughness, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening, AUS-8 is particularly well suited to knives intended for frequent everyday use. Hardened to 58–59 HRC, the monosteel blade retains a dependable cutting edge while remaining resilient in demanding kitchen environments.
An ergonomic POM handle provides a comfortable and secure grip. Highly resistant to water, grease and daily wear, it offers excellent durability and hygiene while keeping the knife exceptionally light and easy to manoeuvre.
Although the knife is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the blade edge and maintain its finish. Lightweight, practical and made in Japan, the IKKAKU Paring Knife 90mm is an essential tool for precise everyday preparation.
