Nigara SG2 Matt Migaki Tsuchime K-tip Paring 95mm, Japanese paring knife
This paring is a compact knife for in-hand peeling and detail work. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Nigara with a tsuchime finish, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The stainless steel keeps it easy to look after from day to day.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for peeling and in-hand detail. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.

Great paring. Took a light touch-up on the stones to get it exactly how I like it, then flawless.

Scary sharp out of the box. Glides through onions and tomatoes with zero effort.

Feels fantastic in the hand and the Tsuchime looks even better in person.

The SG2/R2 powder stainless steel takes a wicked edge. Fit and finish are excellent for the price.

Beautiful Tsuchime finish and the edge is incredible. Exactly what I hoped for.

Best paring I have owned. Effortless push cuts and the food just falls off the blade.
