Suncraft Senzo Black 3.1-inch (80mm) Paring Knife

The 3.1-inch Senzo Black paring knife takes on peeling, coring and garnish work with a short, nimble VG10 blade. It peels a pear in the hand and cuts precise shapes for plated food, and its size and weight suit deveining shrimp and mincing garlic.

Its black Damascus finish and octagonal handle make it a distinctive small gift, and it completes a set built around the series’ chef’s knife or santoku.

Care

Hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry the knife right away; Suncraft advises against the dishwasher. Use a wood or soft plastic cutting board, keep the edge away from bones and frozen food, and maintain it on whetstones. The black finish is a surface treatment, so avoid abrasive pads on the blade face.
