Damascus Steel Paring Knife

The 67 layers of Damascus steel provide a superior balance of hardness and flexibility. This construction creates a highly durable blade that holds a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel knives.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the Pakkawood handle and the precision of the 12-degree edge, you should hand wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately after use.

The 3-step Honbazuke heat treatment process refines the blade's edge to a high degree of sharpness. This method ensures the knife is both hard enough to maintain its keenness and flexible enough to resist chipping during delicate tasks.

With its compact size, this knife is ideal for intricate kitchen work that requires high control, such as peeling fruits, deveining shrimp, or trimming vegetables. It is designed for precision tasks where a larger chef's knife would be too cumbersome.

While the blade is designed to maintain its sharpness for extended periods, you should avoid cutting on glass, ceramic, or stone surfaces, which can dull the edge. Regular honing with a sharpening steel will help keep the 12-degree edge performing at its best.

The lifetime warranty covers any manufacturer's defects in materials or craftsmanship. It does not cover normal wear and tear, damage caused by improper use, or failure to follow the recommended hand-washing care instructions.
