Ronin Series Paring Knife 3.5

The Kessaku KES43035 is a 3.5-inch paring knife from the Ronin Series, forged from high-carbon 7Cr17MoV stainless steel. It is built for cooks who want a small, precise blade for detailed kitchen tasks such as peeling, trimming and decorative cuts.

7Cr17MoV Steel Hardness 58 HRC

The blade is heat-treated and nitrogen-cooled to a Rockwell hardness of 58, then hand-sharpened to 16° per side using the 3-stage Honbazuke method. This combination delivers clean cuts and strong edge retention, though the short 3.5-inch length limits its use to small ingredients and fine work.

Pakkawood Handle Full Tang

The mirror-polished pakkawood handle with resin inlays resists heat, cold and moisture while the seamless, triple-riveted full-tang construction prevents debris ingress. The ergonomic shape provides knuckle clearance and balanced control for extended prep sessions.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5-inch blade and full tang balance well with my existing chef knife?

The 3.5-inch blade and full tang construction keep the knife light and nimble, so it complements a heavier chef knife without feeling tip-heavy during detail work.

How can I verify the 16-degree edge and Rockwell 58 hardness are performing after first use?

A clean slice through tomato skin or paper with no tearing confirms the 16-degree Honbazuke edge is intact, while resistance to rolling on a steel indicates the 58 HRC heat treatment is holding.

Does the box include a sheath for the 3.5-inch custom guard or must I buy one separately?

The supplied 3.5-inch custom guard acts as the blade protector; no separate sheath is included in the package.
