Small but mighty
A knife is only as good as the precision of its cut. In pursuit of ultimate sharpness, we were inspired by narrow-tipped Japanese knives and tested numerous angles before landing on a 13° edge on each side.
The Almost 4” Knife has a solid grip and pointy tip, which is ideal for detailed tasks like peeling fruits and veggies, de-seeding peppers, or de-veining shrimp.
At finishing, each knife is hand-polished, then heat-treated at 300°F before being cryogenically tempered at a well-beyond freezing -250°. This process alters the structure of the steel on a molecular level, making it harder, sharper, and more durable.
We integrated the classic oval shape of Japanese handles into our design, but used an innovative, stain-resistant composite material in a matte finish to make ours firm and slightly grippy, for safe and confident chopping.
The result? Just the right weight, just the right balance, and that perfect feels-just-right-in-your-hand sensation.

Incredibly reliable
I purchased this my third knife from Material. I have completed the knives set. I can say enough about the quality and effectiveness of these knives. They feel and look amazing. The only suggestion, and it’s not so much on the quality of the product, is that I feel like this blade could be a little longer—though I know it’s supposed to be closer to a pairing knife. Otherwise great product.

Amazing
I am convinced I never really used my paring knife before because it just wasn’t that good. I can’t stop using this little thing. It’s amazing. Fits well in the hand and cuts everything like it’s butter.
