Shun Classic Bird's Beak Paring Knife

The Shun Classic Paring knife is a must-have for every kitchen. In a way, you can think of it as the mini version of the chef's knife because, like the chef's knife, the paring knife is quite versatile. The paring knife gets its name from its main function—removing or “paring” away things like peels or pits from fruits and vegetables. Choose from a variety of sizes and types, including the Bird's Beak knife for making decorative cuts, removing blemishes, and precise peeling and the Vegetable Knife, ideal for holding and cutting vegetables into a pot and chopping or mincing smaller herbs and vegetables on a cutting board.

The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handles. Yet behind these handcrafted knives' beauty is function: razor-sharp blades offering top performance. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to behold.
