Shun Premier 4" Paring Knife - Made in Japan - Authorized USA Dealer

The Shun Premier 4" Paring Knife by Shun Cutlery is an essential prep knife for everyday cooking. A paring knife handles the small tasks you do every time you cook, from peeling and trimming to decorative cuts and slicing garlic or shallots. Its compact size gives complete cutting control, making it one of the most used knives in any kitchen.

This is a knife you can rely on and enjoy using. It is visually striking, but its real value is performance. The thin, lightweight blade and very sharp edge make detail work feel smooth and controlled. The contoured handle supports a secure grip whether held by the handle or in a pinch grip.
