A specialty knife worthy of any home cook's cutlery collection, this paring knife has a short, curved blade that lets you cut close to the peel or skin to keep more of the fruit or vegetable intact. It's just the right tool for cutting out blemishes on soft fruits or to make decorative cuts such as fluted mushrooms. The flexible, stick-resistant blade is stamped, hand ground to an exceptional 16-degree angle, then hand polished. Equipped with a comfortable D-shaped handle, the razor-sharp knife showcases a stain-resistant Damascus steel "rippled" finish achieved by forging 34 layers of steel on each side of the blade.

Each exquisite Shun knife is carefully crafted in a 100-step process inspired by ancient sword smiths. The amazing blades are created in Seki City, Japan's 700-year-old center for samurai swords.
