The paring knife with the saber-shaped blade is optimal for peeling fruits, vegetables and potatoes. The Kappa series knives are hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel and then finished in over 30 manual steps. They are stainless, cryogenically hardened and dishwasher safe and offer unique weight distribution and balance due to the all-metal design. The traditional way of manufacturing and the innovative, high-quality design earned the Kappa series the Red Dot Design Award.
