A paring knife is a small, versatile kitchen knife designed for precision tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing small fruits and vegetables. Typically featuring a blade between 65 to 100 mm, it offers excellent control for intricate cuts, making it ideal for tasks like deveining shrimp, hulling strawberries, and creating decorative garnishes. Paring knives come in different blade styles, including straight, curved, and serrated, to suit various cutting techniques. With a sharp, pointed tip and ergonomic handle, a paring knife is an essential tool for chefs and home cooks alike, perfect for delicate and detailed kitchen work.

The Shun Classic White series with its six selected blade shapes and bright ash wood coloured handle is now an integral element of the Shun Classic series. The light coloured version also combines centuries-old Japanese Samurai blacksmithing with modern and sophisticated manufacturing processes.

The result are kitchen knives, which have been perfected to the smallest detail and consistently designed for continual sharpness - ideal for professional use. The Shun Classic White series received the German Design Award 2021.
