XITUO Damascus Steel Paring Knife – 3.5 Inch | VG10 Core | Blue Resin Handle
Meet the ultimate compact kitchen companion: the XITUO 3.5-inch Damascus Paring Knife. Crafted for precision peeling, trimming, and detailed fruit and vegetable prep, this small but mighty knife blends award-winning craftsmanship with breathtaking aesthetics. Whether you're peeling mangoes, coring apples, or slicing garnishes, this knife delivers buttery-smooth, effortless cuts every single time.
Razor-Sharp, Mirror-Polished Edge
The blade is hand-finished to a scalpel-like edge using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method, achieving an extraordinary 8–12° angle per side. Nitrogen-cooled during production for enhanced hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance, this blade holds its edge far longer than conventional kitchen knives.
VG10 Japanese Super Steel Core – 67 Layers of Damascus
At the heart of this paring knife lies an ultra-premium VG10 Japanese super steel cutting core rated at 62+ Rockwell hardness, surrounded by 66 layers of high-carbon stainless steel in a stunning "tsunami-rose" Damascus pattern. The result: extraordinary edge retention, exceptional strength, and outstanding stain resistance — all in a 9 cm blade.
Full Tang Construction for Superior Balance
Built full tang for maximum robustness, the blade extends through the entire handle and is secured with triple rivets for added resilience. The precisely tapered blade minimizes surface resistance, ensuring smooth, non-stick cutting performance through even the most delicate produce.
Ergonomic Blue Resin Handle
The striking blue resin handle (11 cm) is carefully hand-polished for a premium finish that is both beautiful and highly functional. Engineered for superior hand control, agility, and comfort, the ergonomic shape fits naturally in your grip — reducing fatigue during extended prep sessions. The hand-polished blade spine adds an extra touch of smooth, refined handling.
