Red Maple Parer 103mm

Don Carlos Andrade’s trademark convex bevel geometry, full-distal tapering along the spine, and use of high-performance RWL34 stainless steel, made in small batches by Damasteel in northern Sweden, combine to produce a paring knife of limitless possibilities. The tough, sharp, satin-finished stainless steel means the blade is easy to care for and will maintain a hard, sharp edge. The 103mm / 4.1″ blade’s profile and geometry make it incredibly versatile, tough and robust in the rear for dense ingredients, then thin and refined in the forward inches for precision slicing and detail work. The blade’s high-polished and rounded spine and choil contrast the silky, satin-finished bevels beautifully. For control over the handsome blade in a comfortable, recognizable shape from this chef-turned-bladesmith is a handle sculpted into Don’s shield-style wa form that tapers from back to front via a series of flat facets and gently curved faces. Gorgeous red maple is the primary material, with a complementary, red vintage micarta bolster capping the one-of-a-kind build.
