Description
We worked hard to design a paring knife that is comfortable for big and small hands, and using the same inverted teardrop-shaped handle we designed for the chef knife, we’re happy with how our 3.5-inch design turned out. With this in your hands, you’ll be looking around for extra strawberries to core.
Now, if you are the type that cuts towards yourself, just know that this isn’t your mother-in-law’s paring knife. They say a dull knife is dangerous and a sharp knife is safe; that’s true as long as you know your knife is sharp and are expecting it to act like it. So fair warning, this knife takes a very sharp edge. We didn’t make it quite like a razor, but it ain’t no butter knife.
Uses: off-the-board work, peeling, coring, mincing, and detailed work

Never in my life did I think I would be this excited for a paring knife. This little beauty is a gem and an excellent addition to my kitchen!

Let me tell you, I own the chef knife and the pairing knife (thanks to Kenji’s show). The best knives I have ever touched. You are awesome.
Any chance you are making a Kiritsuke?
I would be the first in line. I would buy it even before you make it if it helps kickstart the process.
Thanks and keep up the good work!

Excellent paring knife; very sharp and it feels great in the hand. I’ve been using it for about two weeks now, and it’s a delight.

I got this knife as part of the KAN Core Basic set and it’s a delight. I use the paring knife for various odds and ends in the kitchen that the Chef and Santoku are a bit too big for and you couldn’t really ask for more. It’s extremely sharp with great balance and comfort.
