A precision instrument. This is probably the best paring knife I've ever handled. I've also broken 2 of these from use outside its intended envelope (my fault). This parer is very sharp, rigid, and brittle. Keep it away from hard objects like bones and inexperienced users. Treat it properly, use for paring only, and it will reward you handsomely. Wonderful piece!
Like our other Shun knife, this one exceeds all expectations. The handle is comfortable and has remained like new the entire time. We do not ever put our Shuns through the dishwasher but always dry them immediately and store them away. I’m considering which will be our next Shun purchase.
Shun has been our go-to brand for decades. When I recently moved, all of my knives were very nicely packed away and inaccessible. So I ordered this great 4” paring knife. It works just superbly, like all Shun knives.
I have several Shun Kitchen knives. I love every one of them. My favorite is the "Ken Onion-designed" kitchen knife for big jobs and everyday chores. However, my newly acquired Shun Paring knife is my "Go To" knife for smaller jobs where precision is key, for delicate cuts of fruits and vegetables. The blade stays razor sharp and the 4" blade allows perfect cuts with surgical precision!
