Review: Great budget Japanese style knife - The MITSUMOTO SAKARI 5.5-inch paring knife has quickly become one of the most used tools in my kitchen. It strikes a perfect balance between traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern ergonomic design. What’s to Love: Exceptional Sharpness: Out of the box, the 3-layer 9Cr18Mov high carbon steel blade is incredibly sharp. It glides through delicate fruit skins and firm vegetables like garlic and shallots with absolute ease. Superb Maneuverability: The 5.5-inch blade is a sweet spot for precision tasks. Whether I’m deveining shrimp, coring strawberries, or making decorative garnishes, the knife feels like an extension of my hand. Comfortable Ergonomics: The octagonal rosewood handle is a standout feature. It’s lightweight and well-balanced, which significantly reduces hand fatigue during long prep sessions. It also has a natural moisture resistance that ensures a secure grip even when my hands are wet. Stunning Presentation: It arrives in a beautiful sandalwood box, making it look much more expensive than it is. It would make a fantastic gift for any home cook. Things to Keep in Mind: Hand Wash Only: Because it's made of high carbon steel, this knife requires immediate drying after hand washing to prevent rust. Avoid the dishwasher at all costs. Delicate Blade: This is a precision instrument, not a heavy-duty cleaver. It excels at fine work but isn't meant for hacking through bone or frozen foods. Final Verdict For the price, you’re getting a high-performing, aesthetically pleasing knife that rivals much more expensive Japanese brands. If you do a lot of detailed vegetable and fruit prep, this paring knife is a worthy investment for your collection. Review: Quite the bargain for a solid Japanese kitchen knife! - I got this for 30 something bucks on a deal. Frankly I like it a lot more than my Miyabi that I just got. I sliced through an white onion like it was nothing. I appreciate the storage box as I have yet to get a knife roll. If this knife holds up better slicing carrots than the Miyabi utility knife or my Shun Nakiri, this brand will be my go to for replacements. I definitely like this better than the heavier German knifes I had been using before. ## Features - Japanese Paring Knife: The 5.5-inch paring knife is sized for peeling, trimming and detail cuts, helping this Japanese fruit knife handle apples, citrus, strawberries, garlic, herbs and small vegetables with precise hand control. - Fruit and Vegetable Prep: This small kitchen knife works well for fruit peeling, vegetable trimming, seed removal and garnish work, giving home cooks a compact peeling knife for tasks that feel oversized with a chef knife. - Petty Knife Control: Inspired by a Japanese petty knife, the compact blade helps guide short cuts around curved fruit, tomato stems, garlic cloves and small ingredients, supporting cleaner prep without using a larger kitchen knife. - San-Mai Hand-Forged Steel: The 3-layer 9Cr18MoV high carbon stainless steel blade is hand forged and heat treated to about HRC 60±2, helping this Japanese knife balance hardness, toughness and a stable cutting edge. - Rosewood Handle and Storage: The octagonal rosewood handle helps guide grip orientation during peeling and trimming. The sandalwood box keeps this Japanese kitchen knife neatly stored between uses. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0999DFNFB | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,448 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #41 in Chef's Knives | | Blade Color | Gray | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 5.5 inches | | Blade Material | High Carbon Steel | | Blade Material Type | High Carbon Steel | | BladeLength | 5.5 inches | | Brand | MITSUMOTO SAKARI | | Brand Name | MITSUMOTO SAKARI | | Color | Brown,Black | | Construction Type | Forged | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 308 Reviews | | Handle Material | Wood Handle , Wood, Steel | | Item Highlight | Fruit Peeling and Trimming, Small Vegetable Prep, Petty Knife Control, Octagonal Rosewood Handle, Sandalwood Box | | Item Length | 10.83 inches | | Item Weight | 1.2 pounds | | Manufacturer | MITSUMOTO SAKARI | | Material Type | Rosewood Handle | | Model Number | MS-395 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Size | 5.5" | | UPC | 780669802671 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Plain - **Blade Material:** High Carbon Steel - **Brand:** MITSUMOTO SAKARI - **Color:** Brown,Black - **Handle Material:** Wood Handle,Wood,Steel ## Images ![Petty Chef Knife - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-13CSRs-L.jpg) ![Petty Chef Knife - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81udSlVC-FS.jpg) ![Petty Chef Knife - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eN5ROvw9L.jpg) ![Petty Chef Knife - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Mp0AQE92S.jpg) ![Petty Chef Knife - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81r0vogox2S.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great budget Japanese style knife *by A***R on April 15, 2026* The MITSUMOTO SAKARI 5.5-inch paring knife has quickly become one of the most used tools in my kitchen.
