Shun Premier 4" Paring Knife - TDM0700
The Shun Premier Paring knife is a kitchen essential. In a way, you can think
of it as the mini version of the Chef's knife because, like the Chef's knife,
the Paring knife is quite versatile. Its compact size makes it ideal for peeling,
coring, trimming, decorating, and other detail work. Generally, you?ll use this
knife in your hand rather than against a cutting board, though paring knives
can also be used for chopping small foods, such as garlic cloves.
Calling to mind the handcrafting techniques of ancient Japan, Shun Premier
offers the grace and beauty of hand-forged knives of old. Every blade is made
of VG10 steel, clad with 32 layers of stainless Damascus, then beveled for lateral
stability and incredible precision. Where the two steels meet, a wavy line called
a hamon is formed'similar to the line formed when samurai swords are tempered
using a traditional clay-baking technique. The striking hammered finish (tsuchime
in Japanese) acts similar to a series of hollow-ground cavities, reducing drag
and quickly releasing food from the blade. The walnut PakkaWood® handles nestle
comfortably in the hand, and the Shun logo embossed on the bottom end cap adds
balance and beauty to the knife, whether in use in the hand or at rest in the
block.
