The Imojiya ST VG-10 Damascus is one of our favourite paring knives for their slim profile and thinness behind the edge that is perfect for both novice and expert cooks. It has higher level of fit and finish (polished spine making it more comfortable, and seamless handle seams) compared to other paring knives we offer.

A paring knife is often used for many in-hand tasks such as coring, peeling, and trimming; think apples, artichokes, various fruits and garlic etc. It is an extremely versatile tool that when you get a really good one, you start to wonder how you managed to cook all these years without it.
