Shun - Classic 2pc Santoku and Paring Knife Set (Made in Japan)

The Shun Classic Paring Knife is a must-have for every kitchen. In a way, you can think of it as the mini version of the chef’s knife because, like the chef’s knife, the paring knife is quite versatile. The paring knife gets its name from its main function—removing or “paring” away things like peels or pits from fruits and vegetables. It’s ideal for peeling, coring, trimming, decorating, and other detail work. Its small size gives you complete control over the tip and edge of the blade. Generally, you’ll use this knife in your hand rather than against a cutting board, though paring knives can also be used for chopping small foods, such as garlic cloves or ginger. A santoku is a Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife. Like a chef’s knife, the santoku is used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name means “three virtues”. Depending on who you ask, the name refers either to the three types of foods it works well with – vegetables, proteins, and fruit – or for the three types of cuts at which it excels – slicing, dicing, and chopping.
