Shun Classic Paring 3.5"

The Shun Classic Paring Knife is a must-have for every kitchen. Think of it as the mini version of the chef's knife because, like the chef's knife, the paring knife is quite versatile. It gets its name from its main function—removing or “paring” away things like peels or pits from fruits and vegetables. Its small size gives you complete control over the tip and edge of the blade. Generally, you use this knife in your hand rather than against a cutting board, though paring knives can also be used for cutting small foods, such as garlic cloves or ginger.

• For peeling, trimming, coring, and more, this knife is essential
• Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core is wear and corrosion resistant, strong, and very fine-grained to enable a razor-sharp, long-lasting 16° edge on each side
• 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side (68 total); support the core, add stain resistance, and help food release from the blade
• D-shaped ebony-finished Pakkawood handles are comfortable for both left- and right-handed users; durable, beautiful, and won't harbor bacteria
• Full composite tang for lightweight and perfect balance
• Handcrafted in Japan
