The MIY paring knife was created using a combination of AUS8 and low carbon martensite steel as part of the 33 layer Damascus forging process to produce a blade that will retain an extraordinary level of sharpness, strength and beauty.

The mirror polished matte finish applied to the blade brings out the true beauty of the ripple like patterns created bu the Damascus forging process.

The paring knife consists of a 80mm long blade originally designed to be used to peel fruit and vegetables but due to its size this knife can be used as a small utility knife suitable for more intricate work that would prove difficult to perform with a larger knife.

The rounded handle of the laminated wood has been shaped to a fit most users hands for a comfortably snug grip when using the knife.
