Dressed in beautifully figured maple burl, this 105mm / 4.1" paring knife is very lightweight, yet large enough in size, and robust in build, to tackle quite a few tasks around the kitchen. A knife to become any chef’s number two, the tapered blade is thin and sharp, forged then ground from tough and durable 1.2419 tungsten carbon steel, and fitted with a handle that is comfortable both on the cutting board, and above the board for handheld work. Sculpted and faceted for comfort and good looks, the maple handle is capped with a slim, heirloom-fit brass ferrule.
