The 3.5-inch stainless steel Paring Knife from Itami Matsumoto is a small, maneuverable, yet sturdy basic blade, designed for efficient dicing, trimming, scoring or difficult angular cutting.
Japanese chefs use this knife for precision work and decorative cuts. The home chef will find it ideal for the following activities:
- Dicing
- Trimming
- Scoring
- Angular Preparation Cuts
- Garnishing
Itami Matsumoto knives feature a 60-layer Damascus steel construction and handles made from birch treated to resist the cracking, checking, warping, surface oxidation, and dulling that many inferior knives display with age.
Each knife is unique. Wood grain and Damascus steel will have slight variations in pattern and color.
