SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cangshan Kuro Series 3.5-Inch Paring Knife with Sheath is a compact powerhouse built for precision and reliability in tight cutting spaces. From peeling fruit to trimming vegetables and delicate mincing, this knife delivers excellent control with an edge honed by skilled hands. The blade is forged from proprietary X-7 steel, clad in 67 layers of Damascus for both beauty and strength. Every knife undergoes Cangshan’s Ultra6 heat treatment, ensuring edge retention, durability, and a Rockwell hardness rating of approximately 60. This kind of strength in such a small form factor makes it ideal for anyone serious about the tools they use in the kitchen.
This full-tang paring knife is hand-sharpened to an exceptionally fine edge, allowing for smooth, precise cuts on even the most delicate ingredients. Its agile profile and razor-sharp point make it a natural extension of your hand when doing detailed work. Whether prepping garnishes or tackling fruit on a picnic, the Kuro Series paring knife brings performance wherever it’s needed.
The handle is shaped in a balanced octagonal design for confident grip and comfort, crafted from G-10 fiberglass with a black and grey faux wood grain finish. It’s capped with a single stainless steel mosaic rivet, giving a refined finish to an otherwise rugged tool. Tough enough to last and elegant enough to stand out, the handle resists moisture, cracking, and temperature changes.
To keep the blade protected when not in use, the knife comes with a custom magnetic ashwood sheath. The sheath snaps securely around the blade, whether it’s stored in a drawer or packed along for travel. This combination of thoughtful design, quality materials, and sharp, clean performance makes the Cangshan Kuro paring knife more than just an accessory—it’s a tool you’ll reach for every day.
