Handcrafted by the oldest blacksmith shop in South Korea, this paring knife is a highly functional work of art. Though small, it is one of the sharper knives, and the most difficult to make. Made from the same carbon-steel as railroad tracks, which is rich in manganese and very, very durable. The wood handle is shade-dried chestnut that is lightweight, water resistant and very stable.

Perfect for zesting, de-veining shrimp, peeling fruit, any task that requires tight cutting.

2 3/4 inch blade, 4 5/8 inch handle, 7 3/8 inches overall
