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. Since every kitchen needs a paring knife ”and since you'll use it just about every time you cook ”it makes sense to own a paring knife you can love.

The Shun Premier Paring Knife is part of the beautiful Shun Premier line inspired by the hand-forged knives of ancient Japan. While each knife still takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete, the materials Shun uses are among the most advanced in the industry. Each blade has a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX œsuper steel � to take and hold a precision edge. The layered Damascus cladding supports the core and provides additional stain resistance.
