Damascus Steel Paring Knife

This knife is designed for intricate, small-scale tasks that require precision, such as peeling fruits, deveining shrimp, coring vegetables, or mincing garlic. Its compact size allows for greater control than a standard chef's knife when working with smaller ingredients.

This knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the blade and the Pakkawood handle, always hand wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately after use to prevent corrosion.

A Rockwell hardness of 60+ indicates a very hard steel, which allows the blade to hold a razor-sharp edge for much longer than softer knives. While this provides excellent cutting performance, it also means the blade is more brittle, so you should avoid using it on hard surfaces like glass or stone cutting boards.

Yes, the handle is crafted from moisture-resistant Pakkawood and features an ergonomic shape designed to fit naturally in the hand. The full bolster and balanced weight distribution help reduce wrist fatigue during repetitive tasks.

The 12-degree edge is exceptionally sharp for precise cutting, but it requires regular maintenance to stay that way. We recommend using a honing rod before each use to realign the edge and professional sharpening or a high-quality whetstone when the blade eventually dulls.
