Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun Steel 4-Inch Paring Knife
Customer Review: Awesome knife.
Summary: 5 Stars
Shun steel knives are great. Tremendously sharp, great handle (for right-handers), and all steel with no rivets or seams. This is my favorite one, because you can take it anywhere (like the living room) with a hunk of cheese and a baguette, or a serrano pepper and some chips and salsa, and add some extra enjoyment to your snack via the awesome tactile experience of slicing stuff with a great little tool. Tremendously expensive, though...
Description of Shun Steel 4-Inch Paring Knife
Seamless stainless steel construction produces this stunning collection. Features the look and benefits of Damascus steel, yet without it's rusting problems.Made from VG-10 stainless steel, Shun knives are specially constructed to be harder, less brittle, but also more flexible than traditional steel formulations. The VG-10 core is then clad with 16 full layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, for a total of 33 layers. These layers not only protect the VG-10, they create an exquisitely-detailed surface reminiscent of Damascus or pattern-forged steel, the kind once used for Samurai swords. As a result, the knives are simply stunning to look at--much like antique Damascus knives but without their tendency to rust. As an additional benefit, the slight patterning helps slice rather than crush delicate foods and keeps cut food from sticking to the blade.
The small size and sharp point of this 4-inch paring knife make it ideal for handheld and other small or intricate cutting chores, such as trimming vegetables, peeling fruit, making decorative garnishes, or mincing small amounts of parsley. Its seamless one-piece stainless-steel bolster, D-shaped handle, and end cap provide ergonomic comfort and maximum safety. As sturdy as it is lovely, the knife is officially safe to put in the dishwasher--although it's so good-looking you might find yourself hard-pressed to do so. Shun knives carry a limited lifetime warranty. --Mary Park
