At first glance, the Kumokage 80mm Paring grabs attention with its contrast. The dark Kurouchi upper section keeps that raw, forged Japanese character, while the Damascus cladding along the edge catches the light with flowing layers that give such a small blade a surprising amount of presence.
Then you notice the geometry. Even at only 80mm, the blade feels refined and purposeful, with a fine tip and thin edge that make it ideal for precise work in hand. Peeling fruit, trimming strawberries, cleaning vegetables, removing eyes from potatoes, or handling small detailed prep — this is exactly where a compact paring knife shines.
For this version, we paired it with a much bolder handle. Black and yellow epoxy with sparkling accents gives the knife a completely different personality, somewhere between elegant and flashy without going overboard. The pattern, depth and sparkle change depending on the light, and every handle comes out a little different.
What really makes the Kumokage series interesting is the value. You’re getting a hand-forged Japanese blade, Kurouchi finish, Damascus cladding, refined geometry and a premium custom-style handle at a price point that would normally get you something much simpler.
At 80mm, this isn’t trying to replace your chef’s knife. It’s made for the small jobs where control matters more than blade length — detailed trimming, peeling, garnishing and all the little tasks that are simply easier with a compact blade.
Like any handcrafted Japanese knife, small variations in the Kurouchi finish, Damascus pattern, forge marks and handle are completely normal. In this case, that individuality is part of the appeal — especially with a handle this unique.
Small knife, a lot of character.
