Shun Classic Paring Knife 4"

"The beauty of these knives is only surpassed by their performance." -Alton Brown, celebrity chef and author This stunningly beautiful line of cutlery features the look and benefits of Damascus steel, yet without its rusting problems. The Damascus-look blade profile reduces sticking and results in less damage to the food being cut and faster prep times. The VG-10 stainless steel is clad with 16 layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, producing a rust-free Damascus-look.

The knife includes a stainless steel bolster and end cap, and it is dishwasher safe. And like all Shun Classic blades, it includes free lifetime sharpening and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Handwash only.
