Dalstrong 3.5" Paring Knife — AUS-10V Damascus, 62+ HRC — For In-Hand Peeling, Fruit Prep, Garnish Work & Fine Detail Cuts — Full-Tang G10, PerfectFit Sheath, Shogun ELITE, customer support

• FOR IN-HAND PEELING, TRIMMING, AND THE DETAIL WORK A CHEF KNIFE IS TOO LARGE FOR: The 3.5" paring knife is the blade for in-hand tasks — peeling an apple in a spiral, trimming artichoke leaves, scoring citrus zest, removing strawberry tops. AUS-10V at 62+ HRC takes a fine enough edge to feel precise against your fingertip, not just against the board. The detail work that reveals technique.
• FOR FRUIT PREP, CITRUS WORK, AND GARNISH CUTS THAT MATTER TO PRESENTATION: Segment a grapefruit cleanly, peel a mango close to the skin, score a lemon in decorative spirals — paring tasks where the edge quality shows in the result. A cheap stamped paring knife bruises delicate fruit on contact; an AUS-10V edge at 62+ HRC peels without pressure and leaves a clean surface.
• FOR THE SHOGUN KITCHEN KIT THAT GOES ALL THE WAY: If you own a Shogun ELITE chef knife, this paring knife completes the short-blade coverage — same AUS-10V steel, same Damascus pattern, same G10 handle. The full Shogun kit: chef knife for board work, paring knife for in-hand work, whetstone set (B07KKQHKMV) for maintenance.
• DAMASCUS AT 3.5" — WHY IT MATTERS AT THIS SIZE: A paring knife sees more in-hand, variable-pressure use than any other blade in the kitchen. AUS-10V at 62+ HRC stays sharp longer between sessions than stamped stainless paring knives — and when it does need sharpening, it comes back to a finer edge on a whetstone. The Damascus isn't just visual at this size; it's the right steel for the job.
• CUSTOMER SUPPORT, PERFECTFIT SHEATH, MAGNETIC GIFT BOX: The paring knife gift for the cook who cares about the whole kit, not just the chef knife. Ships gift-ready in Shogun ELITE packaging, backed by Dalstrong's customer support. Pair with the 3-piece Shogun paring set (B07HFFHR7Z) for full in-hand blade coverage.
