The paring knife is an indispensable kitchen prep knife. For peeling, trimming, making decorative cuts, or even for chopping small foods like shallots or garlic, the small size of the paring knife gives you complete cutting control. Its real beauty comes from how well it performs. A thin lightweight blade and a razor-sharp edge make every paring task a breeze. The contour on the bottom of the handle ensures an excellent grip whether held by the handle or in a pinch grip. The tradition and skills handed down from the swordsmiths of ancient Japan have always been an inspiration and integral part of every Kai product since the company's foundation. Similarly, Kai Shun kitchen knives are made using a combination of state-of-the-art technology and long experience, and are highly esteemed all over the world. Each Shun knife is handcrafted in Japan and requires at least 100 meticulous steps to complete. All Shun Premier knife purchases come in a beautifully presented gift box.
