Specifications and unique features
- 8 cm compact blade: The short blade is perfect for extremely precise tasks such as peeling, trimming, and decorative work on fruits and vegetables.
- 3-layer VG-10 Damascus steel: This Shinrai paring knife stands out with its three layers of steel. Both sides of the blade consist of three layers of the finest VG-10 Damascus steel. The construction includes a hard inner layer and two softer outer layers, ensuring long-lasting sharpness and excellent wear resistance.
- Dark wooden handle: The handle of this exclusive paring knife is crafted from high-quality dark wood and finished with a stylish black transition to the blade. This provides a luxurious appearance and a comfortable, stable grip during fine and precise cutting tasks.
- Razor-sharp masterpiece: Shinrai's dedication to craftsmanship results in a paring knife that goes beyond sharp – it is razor-sharp. Thanks to its hardness of 61 HRC, the blade remains sharp for a long time and is extremely precise in use.
- Balance and ergonomics: This paring knife fits perfectly in the hand due to its balanced design. The ergonomic handle offers optimal control and comfort, suitable for both left and right-handed users.

- Warranty: We are completely convinced of the quality of Shinrai kitchen knives. Therefore, we offer a 7-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects.
Maintenance tips and recommendations
- Hand wash: To keep your paring knife in optimal condition, we recommend washing it by hand with mild soap and warm water. Avoid the dishwasher, as this can shorten the life of the knife. Dry the knife immediately and thoroughly after cleaning.
- Regular sharpening: Regularly use a sharpening stone or honing steel to maintain the sharpness and precision of the knife and extend its lifespan.
- Storage: Store your knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a protective sheath to prevent damage to the blade.
- Appropriate surface: Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board. These surfaces protect the blade and help maintain the knife's sharpness.

Specifications
Maintenance and Care
To keep your chef's knife in optimum condition, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and warm water. As with any good chef's knife, avoid the dishwasher, as the aggressive cleaning can quickly shorten the life of your knife. After washing, make sure to dry it immediately and thoroughly to avoid stains.
Sharpen regularly
Use a sharpening stone, sharpening rod or sharpening steel regularly. This will help you effortlessly maintain the sharpness and precision of your knife, extend its lifespan and continue to enjoy an unparalleled cutting experience.
Storage
Properly storing your knives in a knife block is essential to not only ensure safety, but also extend the life of your knives. By storing them this way, you prevent damage to the cutting edges and ensure that they are always within reach when you need them.
Correct substrate
Quality cutting boards are essential for keeping your knives sharp and extending their life. They provide a soft, non-abrasive surface that prevents knives from dulling quickly and reduces the impact on the blade while cutting. Using quality cutting boards is an investment in both the performance and durability of your knives.
Warranty
We are fully convinced of the quality of Shinrai kitchen knives. That is why we offer a 25-year warranty on material and manufacturing defects.
