The Smallest Blade. Total Control.
At 80mm, this is the paring knife for cooks who want complete control over the tip and edge - peeling stone fruit, segmenting citrus, trimming herbs, and all the fine detail work that demands precision over power. Carbon steel takes a finer edge than stainless and holds it longer through repeated use. The natural olive wood handle is hand-set on the full tang with stainless steel rivets - each one unique in grain and colour, warm in the hand, and more beautiful with age.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash only - never dishwasher
Wipe dry immediately after use - carbon steel will rust if left wet
Apply a light coat of food-safe oil occasionally to protect the blade
Keep the olive wood handle dry - do not soak or leave damp
Feed the olive wood handle occasionally with a food-safe wood oil to keep it conditioned
A natural patina will develop on the blade with use - this is normal and protects the steel
Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
