Description

A useful addition to any cutlery collection, this paring knife by Shun features a narrow sloping blade measuring 4 inches in length with a piercing tip. The paring knife's compact size allows for easy handling--ideal for tasks that require meticulous control and precision. Use it for intricate dicing and trimming tasks, as well as for peeling potatoes or removing the skin off peaches, pears, and other fruit. Overall, the paring knife measures approximately 8-1/5 by 3/5 by 1 inches. As part of Shun's Premier line, the knife features a VG10 steel blade, clad with 32 layers of stainless Damascus, then beveled for lateral stability and incredible precision. Its hand-hammered finish not only adds intriguing visual appeal, but it also creates a hollow- ground surface, which reduces knife-drag when cutting and prevents food from sticking to the blade. The knife also comes equipped with a premium Pakkawood handle in a walnut finish, which offers a comfortable, secure grip. As a sleek and stylish finishing touch, Shun embossed its logo on the end cap of the knife's handle. The high-quality knife can safely go in the dishwasher, but for best results, washing it by hand and letting it air dry is recommended. The knife carries a limited lifetime warranty.

    • Beautiful hammered look, well balanced - still loving it after 4.5 years

I bought this back around Christmas 2011 along with a Premier 7" Santoku. I think it cost around $70 at the time, and after using it for years, I'd still say it's worth that. At the current $120 price, I'd probably still get it as a gift to someone, but I wouldn't pay that much to get one for myself. Cost aside, it is a very nice knife. Aesthetically, the blade is simply exceptional. The polished hammered top half combined with the layered bottom half are beautiful. The pakkawood handle is also attractive, but while I still love looking at the blade after all these years, the handle is no longer really my preference. It's still an attractive handle, and I oil it periodically to help keep the luster on it, but my tastes have changed. The build quality is outstanding. Of the four Shun knives that I've purchased, I've had one (a more expensive Reserve paring knife) with an issue on the handle. Both of the Premier models that I bought (this and the Santoku) are perfectly made. The handle lines up just right with the blade, and there are no imperfections anywhere that I've noticed over years of use. Some folks have reported chipping the blade, but I've never had an issue with mine. Sharpness may go without saying, but I'll still say it :) - yep, it's sharp. The Santoku compared to my other less expensive Anolon knives wasn't a night-and-day difference, but that was the case with this compared to my other paring knives. I use a paring knife on every apple that I eat, and this glides through them without any issues at all. I've using a honing steel maybe a handful of times over 4.5 years, but I've never sharpened this. I do tend to now use the Shun Reserve paring knife because I prefer the heavier feel of it, but honestly, this one cuts better for me. It's just a great knife. Shun for me is more than just the functional value - it's the aesthetic value. It works great and looks great, and I like using it. There's something to be said for treating yourself or someone else now and again with a product that is just a cut above (sorry...no pun intended), and this is a knife that will stand out in most people's kitchen collection and make them feel good. The Shun Reserve line is beautiful, but the handles on those aren't quite as robust, IMO. I've attached some photos of this that hopefully convey some of the aesthetics. I think it's far more beautiful than the stock image here on Amazon conveys. Two big thumbs up from me for this knife. ... show more

    • Shun Pairing Knife
Color: Brown Size: 4"
This knife is amazing. It’s the perfect sized pairing knife for a wide array of uses. Overall the knife is perfected weighted and balanced, along with being very durable. It comes out of the box super sharp and is a great knife for the cost.

    • Best paring knife!
Color: Brown Size: 4"
This paring knife is a different design and larger size than my previous knives and I wasn't sure if I would like that. This is a beautiful knife that feels well balanced in my hand. Blade is super sharp. This is my go to knife for smaller jobs. I would definitely buy Shun knives again.

    • Great little knife
Color: Brown Size: 4"
This is my third Shun knife and I love it. These things are scary sharp pieces of art. Very light weight with a classy appearance. The blades are brittle, but that is typical for the type of metal they use.

    • A joy to behold, very sharp, it's our most frequently used knife, but beware of chipping.
Color: Brown Size: 4"
I wanted to upgrade our kitchen knifes from low end Henkels, and after doing some research, bought this Shun Premier Paring knife and a Shun Classic 6" Chef's knife. It has been over 3 years since the purchase. We have many other knifes in our kitchen, but these two Shun knifes are the ones that my wife and I use about 98% of the time. This 4" paring knife is the one that we use most often. We don't baby these knifes. They've been left in a sink full of water a few times, but usually we clean them and dry them to put them away, as directed and also out of safety concerns because they are so sharp. Well, this is an awesome knife. In 3 plus years of daily use, we've never had them sharpened (don't know who to trust with that). Amazingly, they remain very sharp knifes. This one is particularly pleasing to use. The handle is beautifully hand carved, and the hammer marks in the blade make it feel like a piece of art. It fits the hand nicely. The Shun Classic that we bought does not have these "extras". Given how much we use these, I'd definitely pay a little more for the beautiful work of the Shun Premier handle and blade. The 4" size is perfect for most kitchen tasks. I've always enjoyed the control of using a sharp paring knife, and the extra inch on this one goes a long way to making it useful for most anything. The only gripe with these Shun knives are that the blades are brittle and they've received some chips. This one has been dropped a few times, and a chunk about 4mm wide is missing from the tip. It has some divits on the blade too. As does our 6" Chef knife. Eventually I realized that I might have caused the chips to the blade by my technique of twisting the blade to move food aside after a slice. The plastic cutting board might have given the blade too much purchase. We are using wood now. The chipping issue is what keeps this from a 5 star review. Even with the chips they remain awesome kitchen tools well worth the investment. We won't be replacing anytime soon. I highly recommend the utility and control of this 4" paring size. I also highly recommend spending a little more for the hand hammered blade and spiffy carved handle, to give you a little extra joy each time you use it, which is going to be daily. ... show more

    • Absolute laser
Color: Brown Size: 4"
This knife is SHARP. I have very expensive knives of different varieties and this knife is at least as sharp as my carbon steel knives but in an insanely tough powder steel. Seriously if you want no fuss top of the line stainless steel knives I couldn’t recommend this any further. For the price it was an absolute steal. This knife will be VERY rust resistant and being SG2 will hold an edge for almost as long as carbon steel so great edge retention. I bought a paring knife so the knife was 4 inches in size. ... show more
