The 3.5-inch Cangshan paring knife is a kitchen essential for tasks requiring increased control, such as slicing small fruits, trimming mushrooms, chopping herbs, creating a garnish, or peeling and mincing garlic. This knife comes with its own blade guard for easy storage and portability. Handcrafted, it's forged from tight-grained, German X50CrMoV15 steel for incredible durability, stain resistance, and edge retention. Blades are sharpened to a precise 16-degree angle.
