Shun Sora 3.5" Paring Knife VB0700

The paring knife is named for its primary purpose, which is to remove peels or pits from fruits and vegetables. The Shun Sora 3-1/2" Paring Knife is perfect for tasks like peeling, coring, trimming, decorating, and other intricate work. Its small size allows for precise control over the blade's tip and edge. Typically, this knife is used in hand rather than on a cutting board, although it can also be used for chopping small ingredients like garlic or ginger. The Shun Sora Ultimate Utility Knife is part of the Shun Sora line, offering exceptional handcrafted quality at an affordable price. It utilizes Shun's Composite Blade technology, combining a VG-10 san mai cutting edge with a Japanese 420J stainless steel upper. This technology ensures that the high-performance material is concentrated at the edge where it matters most. The two blade sections are laser cut and then joined together using braze welding, resulting in an attractive wavy pattern at the joint reminiscent of traditional Japanese sword hamon lines. While Sora's blade shapes and handle design are traditional Japanese, the handle material is a textured PP/TPE polymer blend that provides a modern appearance, a secure grip, balance, and easy maintenance.
