Description: This exceptional chef's knife is the work of Jeremy Spake of Portland, Oregon. Jeremy has been making knives since 2010. Jeremy's work is heavily influenced by Scandinavian knives. As he has begun making chef's knives, he has combined these Scandinavian influences inspiration drawn from Japanese chef's knife. The results have been truly spectacular.
This high performance paring knife is a must-have for every kitchen. 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.
Jeremy hand forged the blade from W2 carbon steel. W2 takes on a superior cutting edge that just won't quit and is easy to sharpen. Because this knife is made from carbon steel, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust.
Koa wood scales are set on a full tang. It is nicely rounded and swells at the palm, moves into a slimmer waist, and swells again at the end of the handle. Black G-10 spacers assist the knife to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. By using stabilized woods, Jeremy ensures the handle will hold up beautifully to the heavy demands of either a home or professional kitchen.
Exceptional work throughout!
