Yoshihiro VG-10 16 Layer Hammered Damascus Stainless Steel Paring Knife 3.2"

Expertly forged and hammered with 16 layers of Damascus steel around a VG-10 core, our VG-10 Hammered Damascus Series is celebrated for blending performance, elegance, and exceptional value. This renowned craftsmanship makes it a consistent bestseller, prized for its unique layered finish that elevates both appearance and function.

The Yoshihiro Hammered Damascus Stainless Steel Paring Knife is tailored for smaller precision tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing fruits and vegetables with ease. This knife’s razor-sharp, hand-hammered blade is crafted for intricate carving and garnishing, offering professional-grade quality with a sharp edge, excellent retention, and easy sharpening. Its full-tang construction is complemented by a hand-crafted mahogany wood handle that fits comfortably in hand, providing balance and control for delicate work. The elegant Damascus pattern also works to reduce food adhesion, keeping each cut smooth and uninterrupted.

In keeping with the traditions of Japanese knife making, this paring knife’s sharp edge deserves careful maintenance. It is best to sharpen and hone on water whetstones only, with hand washing and immediate drying recommended—especially when working with acidic ingredients. Avoid using the blade on bones, nutshells, or frozen foods to preserve its performance and longevity.
