It is made for small, close work on fruit and vegetables: peeling, trimming and cutting small pieces. Whatever knives you already own, a paring knife fills the gap for these small jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made from a \u003cstrong\u003esingle layer of AUS-8 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e58–59 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. For home cooking this is a sensible balance: the edge holds up well to everyday prep, and you can bring it back without much effort on a whetstone. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and it stays in good condition when you wash and dry the knife soon after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edouble-bevel edge\u003c\/strong\u003e is ground on both sides of the blade, which keeps resharpening straightforward. The blade is 27 mm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe white handle is made of durable \u003cstrong\u003eABS plastic\u003c\/strong\u003e. Like the rest of the Harakiri series, the knife has a full-tang construction, and the handle is secured with three classic rivets. It weighs 47 g net and measures 209 mm overall, so it is light in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeeling fruit and vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopping, tailing and trimming vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting small fruit and vegetables into pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing fruit such as dragon fruit into neat pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail work such as removing seeds, cores and blemishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use; after that, wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it straight away. A dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not be left in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided serrated saw knife, and store the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items. Use a honing rod between sharpenings and resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Harakiri series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/harakiri\"\u003eHarakiri series\u003c\/a\u003e is a sleek, modern SAMURA collection with AUS-8 steel blades in the classic European style and durable ABS plastic handles.
