Best Small Milk Street Knife for Peeling and Light Prep

Question

Hello - The two knives I have from Milk Street are the Nakiri and the bread knife.  Next, I'd like something small that is versatile to peel and do small chopping jobs.  Would that be the Kitchen-kiji?  Or - to rephrase - what are the uses of the kiji?

Hello Sheree –
Thank you for your previous purchase of Milk Street knives, we appreciate it. The Kitchen-kiji is a small paring knife with a 3.5-inch blade. This would be good for hand peeling and as it says on our website, "It’s perfect for all the “in-between” jobs, small enough for detailed handwork like slicing garlic and shallots, trimming mushrooms or cutting fruit." It would also be good for small chopping jobs.  The Small Nakiri has a 4.5-inch blade and would great for small slicing and chopping jobs, but not for peeling.
The universal magnetic knife protector will fit your bread knife.
Thanks again!
