This paring knife from the Katana Series is designed to handle the finer tasks of food preparation. Made from high-carbon stainless steel, there's no better tool for mincing shallots, garlic and fresh herbs. Hand-held tasks like coring tomatoes and strawberries are accomplished quickly --and decorative cuts with precision. Use a paring knife to create radish rosettes, beautifully fanned strawberries, lemon baskets and other attractive garnishes for your plates. Try using the spine edge to peel ginger, too!
