{"product_id":"shun-premier-paring-knife-10cm","title":"Shun Premier Paring Knife - 10cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe paring knife is an indispensable kitchen prep knife. For peeling, trimming, making decorative cuts, or even for chopping small foods like shallots or garlic, the small size of the paring knife gives you complete cutting control. Its real beauty comes from how well it performs. A thin lightweight blade and a razor-sharp edge make every paring task a breeze. The contour on the bottom of the handle ensures an excellent grip whether held by the handle or in a pinch grip.\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting Edge: Hand-sharpened 16 degree double-bevel blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel: Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core, 34 layers (69 total including core) stainless steel Damascus cladding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 60 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 10cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Contoured, ambidextrous walnut coloured PakkaWood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Handcrafted in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eFrom the legendary samurai swords, said to contain the soul of the warrior who wielded them, to the handcrafted kitchen knives of today the exquisite craftsmanship of Japanese blades is admired worldwide. Since the13th century, Seki City has been the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry. For more than 100 years, it has also been home to Kai Corporation, the makers of Kai Shun (pronounced 'shoon' and rhymes with 'moon') fine knives. Inspired by the blade-making traditions of ancient Japan, today's highly skilled Shun artisans produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse and Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Surface.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cutting surface you are using will directly affect the blades edge. A good cutting board will help retain a sharp edge for substantially longer. Wood, wood composite and  polyethylene boards are all excellent choices. Tile, ceramic, marble, granite, or any kind of glass cutting boards are poor choices and are very hard on your knives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCleaning.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs with any lifetime investment, it is important to take the best care possible in order to prolong the life of your knife. Kai recommends that you protect your investment by hand-washing your blades with gentle dish  soap. Do not use soaps with citrus extracts; they can promote rust. Rinse and towel dry immediately. Let the knives air dry for a few minutes before returning them to storage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNever leave your knife sitting in a sink full of soapy water, metal does not respond well to being submerged in water for prolonged periods of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter you have washed and dried your knives, store them in a block, knife case, in-drawer tray, sheath, magnetic knife holder mounted on a wall, or in the original box. We do not recommend storing the knives unsheathed in a drawer, as this can be a potential hazard to the blades  as well as your fingers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharpening.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn order to maximise the life of the blade, regular honing will be necessary. Weekly honing will extend the time between sharpening significantly.
