xA precision paring knife built for fruit prep
The SHAN ZU Damascus Paring Knife 4 Inch brings artisan steel craft into the home kitchen. The blade core uses Japanese 10Cr15CoMoV steel, hardened to about 62 HRC for solid edge retention, while the outer layers form a striking 67-layer Damascus pattern. This combination aims to balance sharpness with toughness, helping you handle peeling, trimming, and delicate carving tasks with confidence.
Real Damascus craftsmanship is more than a surface look. The patterns come from stacking carbon steel sheets, repeatedly folding them, and heat treating until the pattern becomes visible. This is different from laser-etched designs, and the result is a blade that looks as strong as it feels, with a unique shimmer that catches the eye in any kitchen.
Precision edge, durable build, and comfortable handling
The knife features a 15° V-shaped edge on both sides, designed to maintain cutting power over time. The blade is forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel, with a robust core that enhances corrosion resistance and toughness. A frosted fiberglass G10 handle provides a confident, non-slip grip that feels balanced in the hand, helping you work with steady control through peeling, trimming, and more intricate tasks.
Designed to be versatile, this paring knife is easy to maneuver for small, precise cuts. It’s also easy to care for, and SHAN ZU backs each knife with a lifetime promise and a 24-month warranty. The knife arrives in a gift box, making it a thoughtful present for cooking enthusiasts or someone starting their kitchen journey.
