Amazon.com Product Description
Perfect for precise peeling and trimming of fruits and vegetables, this gracefully elegant 3-1/2-inch paring knife from the Shun Steel line is made with a seamless, one-piece stainless-steel bolster, handle, and end cap. The blade is made from VG-10 steel with a high carbon content for a higher density. This allows the steel to be tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 61, and still have the flexibility and strength to take and keep a perfect edge. It's clad in layers of high-carbon stainless steel that protect the VG-10 and give the Shun its Damascus-look pattern, which also helps ensure that foods stick less during slicing and dicing--resulting in faster and easier food preparation.

Shun knives rely on traditional Japanese construction methods, including a full composite tang, in order to ensure the best balance. The D-shape of the stainless steel handle is designed to tuck into the palm and provide more control to the user by leaving less space between handle and hand (the handle also fits nicely between the thumb and fingers of a left-handed user). This knife is backed by a lifetime warranty. Dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended. Made in Japan. NSF approved.

Customer Reviews

Great Paring Knife
This is a GREAT paring knife. Like all Shuns, it's razor sharp. It's also comfortable in your hand and just the right size for intricate cutting jobs. The handle is hollow, but still has the right amount of weight/balance. I've really enjoyed using it in my kitchen.

The Best!
My nephew requested this knife as a wedding gift. He eats a lot of vegetables and is in love with this knife -- sharp and just the right size!
