Shun Shiranami 4" Paring Knife
Handcrafted Japanese paring knife with a fine 71-layer Dual Core Damascus blade and Prussian blue jute micarta handle
The Shun Shiranami 4" Paring Knife gives you close control for peeling, trimming, coring, and preparing small ingredients. Its thin, pointed blade handles shallots, garlic, berries, citrus, and detailed cuts with more precision than a larger chef's knife.
Why Order from Design & Grace
Authorized Shun retailer: We sell genuine Shun cutlery backed by the manufacturer's full warranty.
Ships from Texas: Your knife is carefully packed and shipped from our Texas facility.
Practical support: Our team can help with knife selection, edge-friendly cutting surfaces, storage, sharpening, and long-term care.
Close Control for Detailed Prep
The 4-inch blade keeps the edge close to your hand for precise trimming and controlled in-hand work. Its fine point reaches into small ingredients for removing stems, coring fruit, peeling produce, and making decorative cuts.
The 4.4-inch handle gives the compact blade a secure, balanced grip. Prussian blue jute micarta provides durability and water resistance without the upkeep required by natural wood.
Signature Features
4-inch paring blade: A compact working length for peeling, trimming, coring, and detailed cutting.
Fine non-serrated edge: Produces clean, precise cuts and can be resharpened throughout the life of the knife.
71-layer Dual Core Damascus steel: Alternating VG10 and VG2 stainless steel layers form the blade and its flowing wave pattern.
Pointed blade profile: Provides control when working around stems, blemishes, and small ingredients.
Prussian blue jute micarta handle: Resin-stabilized jute provides durability, water resistance, and a secure grip.
Full composite tang: Extends through the handle for strength, stability, and balanced handling.

Handcrafted in Japan: Made by Shun using Japanese blade-making methods and modern stainless steels.
The Small Knife Used Throughout Prep
This paring knife handles the work that needs precision rather than reach. Its compact size makes it a practical companion to a chef's knife for garlic, shallots, berries, citrus peel, small vegetables, and careful trimming.
From Our Founder
"A paring knife should feel precise from the point to the heel. This one has the thin blade and compact balance needed for the small jobs that come up throughout prep."
Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
