Description: Handmade by Jim Arbuckle, this 3-1/2 inch paring knife is an excellent choice for the chef that wants a knife that is as attractive as it is useful. This piece is handmade and one-of-a-kind - there's not another one like it in the world!
Paring knives are a must-have for every kitchen. You can think of it as the mini version of the chef's knife because, like the chef's knife, the paring knife is quite versatile. The paring knife gets its name from its main function—removing or “paring” away things like peels or pits from fruits and vegetables. It’s ideal for peeling, coring, trimming, decorating, and other detail work. Its small size gives you complete control over the tip and edge of the blade. Generally, you'll use this knife in your hand rather than against a cutting board, though paring knives can also be used for chopping small foods, such as garlic cloves or ginger.
The blade is hand ground, high performing, low care 154CM stainless steel. It has an heirloom quality hand-rubbed satin finish. It was hardened and triple tempered to Rc 59-60 for excellent edge retention. The blade is distal tapered, ensuring it is nimble and easy to control. The durable blade is convex ground for food release and chip-resistance.
Rosewood Dymalux handle scales are set on a full tang for strength and durability. Dymalux will hold up exceptionally well to the high demands of either a commercial or home kitchen. Modified serpentine filework between the scales has been filled with black epoxy and polished. This gives the beauty of filework without the hassle of cleaning food particles out of it. The handle is contoured with a deep choil - this semi-circular cut-out allows the forefinger to rest comfortably and makes the knife easy to hold in several different grip options.
Excellent work throughout!
