Refined and KYOKU Shogun Series Paring Knife - 3.5 Japanese VG10 Steel Core Damascus Blade with Sheath & Case

After the decline of the samurai in 1868, Japanese swordsmiths applied their exceptional skills to the realm of cutlery, ushering in an era of unprecedented innovation. Kyoku, a brand inspired by the honor and integrity of these master bladesmiths, has made it their mission to bring high-end Japanese cutlery within reach of professional chefs and home cooks worldwide.

Kyoku's passion for culinary creativity keeps them at the forefront of handcrafted cutlery, blending ultramodern technology with ancient craftsmanship. The Shogun Series, the apex of modern Japanese cutlery, exemplifies this philosophy. Crafted from cryogenically-hardened VG-10 steel wrapped between 33-layer Damascus steel, these knives are engineered for unparalleled performance.

The 3.5" Japanese small paring knife from the Shogun Series is a testament to Kyoku's commitment to excellence. Weighing a mere 4 ounces, this fruit paring knife delivers flawless precision, making it ideal for mincing herbs, slicing fruit, peeling vegetables, and cutting cheese. The stunning herringbone pattern on the base of the tang reveals the knife's luxurious identity, a product of the brand's exceptional craftsmanship.

Sharpened to an 8-12 degree edge using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method, the VG-10 stainless steel blade offers unrivaled sharpness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, providing an exceptionally precise cutting experience. The hollow-edge design ensures that nothing sticks to the blade, further enhancing its efficiency.

The ergonomically designed handle, crafted from durable fiberglass, is artistically accented with an engraved mosaic pin, adding to the knife's distinctive appearance. The full-tang construction ensures the blade extends the entire length of the handle, allowing for comfortable handling and balanced performance, even during punishing daily use.

Kyoku's commitment to quality is further evident in the lifetime warranty and friendly 24/7 customer service that accompanies each purchase. The provided sheath and case allow for secure storage and protection, ensuring the knife remains clean and ready for action.

Whether you're a professional chef or a passionate home cook, the Kyoku 3.5" Japanese small paring knife from the Shogun Series promises an unparalleled culinary experience, blending the exceptional craftsmanship of traditional Japanese bladesmithing with modern innovation.
