Effortlessly cut and trim your veggies with precision using the Shun Classic Straight Paring Knife. Despite being comparable in size to a paring knife, it has a distinct blade shape. Rather than the curved edge of a paring knife, the Shun Classic Vegetable Knife has a straight edge that is 8. 9cm long. The blade is made of VG-Max steel that provides incredible edge retention and is also clad with Damascus stainless steel, which brings out the distinctive pattern of the layered steel. This knife also features uniquely stable D-shape handle design for a secure grip. This perfectly balanced knife features a black Pakkawood handle to add to the beauty of this knife.
