High-alloy German steel takes and holds a razor-sharp edge for a paring knife that stands up to daily use. The forged, full-tang, hand-sharpened blade echoes the graceful curve of the navy ergonomic handle. A matching sheath protects the knife in a drawer, camping pack or picnic basket. This prep knife excels at trimming mushrooms, mincing garlic, dicing tomatoes and slicing tenderloins.
