Why A Paring Knife
Control Where A Chef's Knife Can't Go
A 3.5" blade keeps the tip close to your fingers, so you get the precision a full-size knife loses. Peel an apple in hand, segment citrus, trim fat, hull strawberries, score garlic. Light at 139g, balanced for fine, repeated cuts without fatigue. The work a big knife fumbles, this one does cleanly.

The Steel
67-Layer Damascus, 10Cr15CoMoV Core
A 10Cr15CoMoV stainless core is folded inside 66 outer layers of 316L stainless Damascus, 67 layers in total, then vacuum heat treated and deep frozen to 60±2 HRC. That hardness holds a fine edge through repeated detail cuts, and the stainless construction resists the acids in fruit and citrus. The Damascus pattern is the real layering, not an etch.

In The Hand
Linen Micarta, Built To Grip
The handle is Linen Micarta, layers of linen set in resin and compressed hard. It shrugs off water and oil and gives a secure hold when your hands are wet from peeling and prepping, which is exactly when a small knife is most likely to slip. Shaped close to the blade so the tip stays an extension of your fingers.
