GW Ginsan Sanmai 8cm Paring Knife

This Gin-San Sanmai series is the perfect example of the Japanese design philosophy Shibui,  a balance of simplicity and complexity. The simple elegance and austere look, create a powerful appearance. The three-layer blade with Gin-San (Silver-3) core is thin, strong, and precise; and the walnut octagonal handle provides a comfortable grip. Pairing knives are small and engineered to preform small tasks. Perfect for peeling and carving fruits and vegetables. They are typically designed to be used off the cutting board in your hand.
