Kikuichi Cutlery Swedish Gold Birds Beak Paring Knife

This Kikuichi Swedish Gold series is one of our heaviest western knives and is preferred by many chefs who want the quality of a Japanese blade with the weight and design of a European knife. The blade is made from a Swedish Gold Stainless core sandwiched between SUS410 stainless which protects and adds corrosion resistance creating a hefty blade that can withstand the heavy work of a professional kitchen while maintaining a sharp edge for fast cutting. The blade steel contains 15% Chromium, 1.5% Cobalt, and 1% Molybdenum. Ultimately, this alloy gives the knife the ability to withstand daily use and still hold a razor sharp edge. Resembling a bird's beak, the short, curved blade is great for creating intricate cuts for decorative garnishes and for prepping small, spherical fruits and vegetables.
