Yasuo Black Paring Knife, 8cm

The Yasuo black paring knife has an ultra-tough cold forged blade and a sleek wooden handle for superior balance and cutting control. The non-serrated blade retains its sharpness over time but is easy to resharpen if required. Use it for peeling, cutting and paring ingredients in your hand, rather than on a board. It’s perfect for peeling apples and potatoes, coring tomatoes and mincing garlic and shallots.

The blade is made from a 69 layer damascus steel with a VG10 core, making it a durable knife that will hold its edge and is still easy enough to sharpen and maintain.

The handle is made from Pakkawood, commonly used in kitchen knives because of the hard wearing qualities it brings. It has a classic Japanese octagonal shaped handle that will fit comfortably in your hand for easy use.

This Yasuo knife is made in Seki City, Japan. Seki City is well known for the knife making craft, and is often referred to as the knife capital of the world. Nowadays, cities across the world fight for the title, however Seki City is still the champion for any Japanese knives, with the tradition dating back almost 800 years.
