Perfectly sized at 10cm, this essential tool excels at precision work: effortlessly peel fruits and vegetables, remove seeds with accuracy, or create stunning vegetable garnishes for salads – all held comfortably in hand.

Crafted in Seki, Japan – the legendary city of blades – the Zen embodies exceptional quality. Its heart is a VG10 ‘super steel’ core, renowned among professional chefs for incredible sharpness and resilience. This core is enveloped within 34 layers of alternating hard and soft high-carbon steel on each side, creating a stunning 37-layer Damascus pattern with distinctive hammered marks and the Japanese ‘Zen’ insignia. ‘Zen’ signifies “the most healthy meals,” reflecting its purpose in preparing fresh ingredients.

Yaxell’s rigorous ice-hardening process elevates this blade to an impressive HRC61 Rockwell hardness. This specialized treatment ensures exceptional edge retention for long-lasting sharpness and remarkable corrosion resistance, guaranteeing top-tier performance year after year.

Designed for comfort and stability during extended use, the handle features durable black Canvas-Micarta – a resilient composite of linen and resin formed under high pressure. It’s securely fastened with two stainless steel rivets and capped with a stainless steel end bolster, providing perfect balance and confident control in your grip.

Since 1932, the family-run Yaxell workshop has hand-forged award-winning knives trusted globally. The Zen Paring Knife is more than a tool; it’s an investment in precision craftsmanship and enduring culinary excellence. Elevate your detailed kitchen work with this masterpiece of Seki tradition.
