{"product_id":"3-5-paring-knife","title":"3.5\" Paring Knife - Yi Series (B27)","description":"\u003cp\u003eReach for this when a job is too small for the chef knife. Peeling a mango in-hand, hulling strawberries, coring a tomato, deveining prawns: these are the tasks that actually need a 3.5-inch blade, not a knife that's dragging the board and fighting you for control. It's the one you use closer to your hand than the cutting board, and it does those jobs the big knives can't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSmall Blade, Real Steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't let the size fool you. The same 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus goes into this blade as the rest of the Yi Series. Vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC, the edge \u003cem\u003eholds\u003c\/em\u003e its sharpness on detailed repeat contact. Trimming silverskin, peeling kiwi without tearing the flesh: a soft blade would roll on that kind of work. This one doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRosewood Handle, Balanced in the Hand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rosewood handle is triple-riveted with full-tang construction, so the balance point sits right where your fingers wrap rather than tipping into the blade. At 90g it's light enough to use in-hand for extended prep without fatigue. The same rosewood and Damascus pattern ties it visually to the rest of the Yi Series if you're building out the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 67-layer Damascus with 10Cr15CoMoV core\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5-inch paring knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood with triple-rivet full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peeling fruit in-hand, hulling, deveining, and trimming tasks where larger blades lack control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yi Series (B27)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e B27-SG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with the Yi Series 8.5\" Chef Knife for board work and the 7\" Santoku for push-cut vegetable prep.
