The Kikuichi GM series has been one of the shop’s most consistent sellers since day one. The GM is a perfect combination of traditional Japanese blade profiles, combined with Western handles. Each GM blade is slim with a subtle convex taper, creating an even transition to the cutting edge. The AUS10 blade steel is easy to take care of with high corrosion resistance and is easy to sharpen. The polymer handles are tough and won’t have any bacterial absorption. The GM is an excellent choice for the cook who puts their knives through their paces, or the home chef looking for a good introduction into Japanese cutlery.

The 12cm petty can be a very useful knife to have in the kitchen. Most French paring knives are 10cm in blade length. The extra two centimeters makes a surprising difference in in cutting potential. The knife can be used for almost any small job. From slicing proteins to trimming broccoli florets to cutting strawberry stems, the 12cm has you covered.
