If you’re going to spend decent money on a knife, make sure it’s one that you’ll use frequently, feels comfortable in your hand and is made of premium materials.
This Shun Classic Paring knife has got all that and more.
For starters, it’s a paring knife — one of just a handful of “essential” knives for any kitchen.
The blade’s core is made of premium Japanese VG-10 steel. This allows it to be made sharper than just about any other kitchen knife you’ll encounter. Around the VG-10 are layers of stainless steel to protect the edge.
The blade also features a gorgeous damascus-style pattern on it. That’ll make you want to display it in your kitchen.
The handle is made of pakkawood, a resin-infused hardwood that will resist wear and tear. Its profile is a teardrop-shape, meaning it will settle comfortably in your hand.
While technically it’s “stainless”, you won’t want to soak this knife or put it in the dishwasher. If that extra care is too much of a bother for you, you may want to look elsewhere.
This knife is pricey, no doubt, but for all that it offers, it’s certainly one of the best paring knives out there.
