Shun Premier Paring Knife

A 4-inch paring knife is designed for intricate, small-scale tasks that require high precision. It is ideal for peeling fruits and vegetables, trimming herbs, deveining shrimp, or performing detailed cuts that would be difficult with a larger chef's knife.

This knife is not dishwasher safe. To protect the blade's edge and the integrity of the PakkaWood handle, always hand wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately after use.

VG MAX is a high-carbon, high-performance stainless steel that holds a sharper edge for a longer period than standard steel. It offers a superior balance of hardness and durability, allowing for thinner, more precise cuts.

Yes, the PakkaWood handle is ergonomically shaped to provide a secure, comfortable grip. Its contoured design helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like peeling or trimming large batches of produce.

Because of the high-quality steel and the specific angle of the edge, it is recommended to use a whetstone or a high-quality honing steel to maintain its sharpness. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners, as they can damage the blade's fine edge.
