Hampton Forge Tomodachi Paring Knives

These 3.5-inch knives are designed for intricate prep work, such as peeling fruits and vegetables, deveining shrimp, or performing detailed cuts where a larger chef's knife would be too cumbersome.

Yes, each of the three knives comes with a matching blade guard. These are essential for keeping the edges sharp and protecting your fingers when reaching into a kitchen drawer.

While the synthetic polymer handles and stainless steel blades are durable, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use to maintain the sharpness of the hollow-ground edge and the vibrancy of the pop-art prints.

A hollow-ground edge is concave, meaning it is ground thinner than a standard blade. This design creates an exceptionally sharp edge that glides through produce with less resistance, making detailed cutting tasks easier.

While many synthetic-handled knives are technically dishwasher safe, the high heat and harsh detergents can dull the blade edge and fade the colorful prints over time. Hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the set's appearance and performance.
