Florentine Four 100mm Paring Knife Stainless White & Black

A western style small utility / paring knife that is good for both in hand work and on the cutting board use like a Japanese petty knife. 

Florentine Kitchen Knives are characterized by their fine ground blades which blend the traditional characteristics of the Western approach to steel; toughness and ease of sharpening with a fine thin edge more commonly associated with Japanese knives, they cut smoothly and sharpen easily with a great grippy feel on their unique stacked leather and micarta handles. 

Florentine Kitchen Knives was founded in 2012 by industrial designer Tomer Botner. In 2016 he was joined by his wife Noam Blumenthal, a fashion designer. The brand started in the neighborhood of Florentin, south-west Tel-Aviv, after which the business takes its name.  In 2018, the first workshop opened in FKK’s new home of Barcelona, Spain.
