Why We Love It: A Former Chef's View
Arima Homewares was founded by a former chef whose experience spans fine-dining, steakhouse, bakery and catering kitchens, including cooking for royalty and internationally renowned artists. She and her husband built Arima around one idea: professional kitchen experience, translated into honest guidance for home cooks.
“A paring knife earns its place through control. It is the right choice when a chef's knife feels oversized, especially for peeling, coring and precise hand work. For this 9 cm, I would prioritise control, fit and the task it is genuinely designed to perform.”
Arima Homewares is an Australian family-owned business operating from its Sydney warehouse since 2018 and an authorised Wüsthof stockist. Learn more about Arima Homewares.
