3" Paring Knife - Uliassi Series (X03)

Reach for this when you're peeling a mango, trimming the silverskin off a duck breast, or hulling a punnet of strawberries at speed. A 3-inch paring knife sits fully in the hand, blade tip clear of the board, which makes it the right tool for anything that needs to happen in the air. It's the knife you'll use more than you'd expect once it's actually in your drawer.

Small Blade, Confident Control

Three inches is slightly shorter than the standard 3.5-inch paring knife, which keeps the tip precise when you're working around a whole potato or an apple. The blade stays close and controllable whether you're working on the board or in hand. It won't feel unwieldy the way a 5-inch utility would for fine detail work.

Damascus Steel That Punches Above Its Size

The core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, hardened to 62±2 HRC. That's a high hardness for a small knife, and it means the edge stays keen through a session of repetitive peeling where softer steels start to drag. Wrapped in 73 layers of Damascus cladding and finished with a rosewood handle, each knife ships with its own wooden sheath to protect the edge between uses.
