Professional Opinion
At 5.5 inches, the 5.5D is the nimble end of the Kimari cutting range: cobalt alloy blades, a convex edge, and an offset handle, with four handle styles to choose from across the family. The interchangeable blade system means one set of handles can run different blade sizes over time.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades clean after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in a protective case
