Quince Paring Knife

The AUS-10 steel core is a high-carbon Japanese stainless steel known for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge for an extended period. It provides the hardness necessary for precise, clean cuts while remaining resistant to rust and corrosion.

The high-heat environment and harsh detergents of a dishwasher can degrade the pakkawood handle and dull the fine edge of the Damascus steel blade. Hand-washing with mild soap and drying immediately is essential to protect the materials and maintain the knife's performance.

A full tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This construction provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels solid and controlled in your hand during delicate tasks.

No, this knife is designed specifically for intricate, delicate tasks like peeling, trimming, and shaping produce. Its 3.5-inch blade is agile and narrow, making it ill-suited for heavy-duty chopping or cutting through dense, hard ingredients.

The 67 layers of stainless steel are forged over the central core to provide structural reinforcement and protection. Beyond the striking visual pattern, this layering process enhances the blade's overall durability and resistance to bending or snapping.
