{"product_id":"ironwood-alsace-parer-110mm","title":"Ironwood Alsace Parer 110mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eDon Carlos Andrade has single-handedly solidified a place for the Alsace-inspired handle style of centuries past in modern culinary knives, and for this build the form graces a 110mm parer, one of his smallest builds to feature the handle design. Usually reserved for larger builds and butcher knives, the finger guard drops down below the blade the same way it would on a knife three or four times this size. A combination of rounded faces and flat facets completes the comfortable, tapering grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade carries his signature clayless hamon, cloudy and organic, attained not through a clay coating but through experienced hardening and quenching techniques and  revealed through a careful etching and hand-sanded satin polishing that lets the steel's own line show through on its own terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong for a parer at 110mm \/ 4.3\" but slim throughout, the blade tapers aggressively to a needle-like tip built for detail work and delicate cuts, narrowing from 2.5mm out of the handle to just 1.0mm an inch from the point. At 26mm tall at the heel and weighing only 2.9oz \/ 82g overall, it stays light and precise in hand despite the guard's added presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is Arizona desert ironwood, held to the tang with a single flush brass pin, its rich, swirling grain visible right up to the edge of the guard. A cloth-covered saya is included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Don Carlos Andrade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54511231303955,"sku":"DCA-HCK85-MO","price":1525.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/don-carlos-andrade-ironwood-alsace-parer-110mm-1252892371.jpg?v=1787691877","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/ironwood-alsace-parer-110mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
