Shun Kai Classic Chef Utility Paring Knife 3 Pc Set
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. It’s ideal for peeling, coring, trimming, decorating, and other detail work. Its small size gives you complete control over the tip and edge of the blade.
Generally, you'll use this knife in your hand rather than against a cutting board, though paring knives can also be used for chopping small foods, such as garlic cloves or ginger.
In size, the Shun Classic Utility Knife is between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, but its blade is narrower and straighter.
It's perfect for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. Some cooks like to use it in their hand, too—almost like a large paring knife. Others like its smaller size as an alternative to the chef’s knife.
Its very slightly curved belly enables it to do moderate rocking cuts. It’s nimble enough to peel an onion in hand, then slice it up in short order.
Utility knives are sometimes called sandwich knives because they work well on almost everything that goes into a sandwich—from thin-skinned vegetables such as tomatoes, to meats and cheeses.
If there is one knife that you simply can’t be without, it’s this one.
The Shun Classic 8-inch Chef's Knife is an all-purpose blade ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks.
The eight-inch length is perfect for preparing fruits, vegetables, proteins, and other foods. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is extra handy when transferring cut food from board to pan.
With its curved belly, the Chef's knife can be gently "rocked" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. Shun Classic's thinner blades makes it lighter and less tiring to use than comparable European-style Chef's knives.
Incredibly sharp edges and unmatched aesthetics set Shun knives apart from every other kitchen knife on the market today.
Every day, the legacy of ancient sword smiths serves as inspiration to the artisans in the Kai factories. Kai’s 100-year-old tradition of blade-making excellence, combined with the newest technology and the most advanced materials, makes every Shun knife a functional work of art.
Shun uses advanced, high-performance steel for our blades. The steel is hard so blades can be made thinner, lighter, and sharper.
Advanced steel combines with a tradition of excellence to make knives "at the peak of perfection".
A hard steel core is clad with a "softer" steel or steels to support it. Kasumi combines two or more types of steel to take advantage of the key characteristics of each of them
SAN MAIA hard steel core is sandwiched between layers of "softer" steel to support. The exterior steel is often stainless steel and provides stain resistance.
With a VG-MAX cutting core, and 32 layers of Damascus steel. Damascus is formed by layering different types of metal alloys together, and the layers are forged into a single piece.
The patterns are then revealed by grinding then bead-blasting or acid etching the blades, leaving you with a piece of art
Shun blades are thinner, lighter, sharper. The thinner edges allows you to cut more efficiently. Our 16° cutting angle is extremely sharp, yet lasts a long time.
Genuine hardwood handles. The resin makes it moisture resistant.
Shun handles are harder and more durable than untreated hardwood.
Note
The handle color may change slightly over time due to oils in the hand as well as the natural color change of wood from oxidation and/or exposure to light. This is not a defect, but a natural part of the process.
In order to maximize the life of the blade, regular honing with a Shun steel will be necessary.
Weekly honing will extend the time between sharpening significantly. When the time comes to sharpen these premium blades, we recommend using a whetstone or sending the knives to a professional sharpener.
