The Shun Sora 3.5-inch Paring Knife is an essential tool in any kitchen. This mini-version of the Chef's knife is very versatile - making tasks such as peeling, coring, trimming, decorating and detail work easy. The small size of this paring knife provides complete control over the blade from heel to tip. The 3.5-inch parer is often used in your hand rather than against a cutting board.
Honoring the traditional, high-end Japanese knife-making technique of san mai, the Shun Sora Paring Knife features a VG10 "super steel" razor-sharp 16-degree double-bevel edge blade clad with a single layer of stainless steel on each side. The Sora's VG10 san mai and stainless blade are laser cut and fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, permanently braze welded to provide performance and beauty. The blade is finished with bead blasting to highlight the san mai edge and echo the line of the braze welding.
Each Shun Sora knife handle is made of textured TPE polymer to provide excellent grip and balance without sacrificing ease of maintenance. The stainless steel Shun logo on the handle further enhances the balance of this beautiful knife.
Engraving: Up to 6 characters can be laser engraved on this paring knife.
