Product Description
The Shun Classic 3.5-Inch Paring Knife brings precise control to peeling, trimming, coring, and other detailed kitchen tasks. Its compact blade makes it easy to guide the tip and edge as you remove peels or pits from fruits and vegetables, or prepare small ingredients such as garlic cloves and ginger.
Versatile like a miniature chef’s knife, this paring knife pairs a strong, fine-grained VG-MAX cutting core with a razor-sharp, long-lasting edge. Stainless Damascus cladding supports the core, adds stain resistance, and helps food release from the blade. An ebony-finished, D-shaped Pakkawood handle is comfortable for both left- and right-handed cooks, while the full composite tang contributes to light weight and balance.
Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, Shun knives draw on centuries of Japanese blade-making tradition. Each knife takes at least 100 individual steps, combining skilled craftsmanship with modern technology. The name Shun celebrates ingredients at their peak of freshness, flavor, and beauty, a philosophy that brings purpose to everyday preparation.
