3.5 inch Paring Knife Description

Sure, this little guy is brilliant for delicate work like mincing garlic or removing the stems from a bushel of kale. But a paring knife is actually designed to cut foods you need to hold in your hand (rather than on the cutting board), like small peaches or strawberries. In fact, "paring" comes from the Persian "pari," which means air. And this one is indeed light as air. And razor sharp.

Why The 3.5 inch Paring Knife is Great

  • Japanese Aus10 Steel: Ultra-high carbon content means it’ll stay sharp and hold its edge longer than German steel. This makes cutting easier and way, way safer. And you won’t need to sharpen it as often, so it requires less maintenance than other high end knives. 
  • Ergonomic, Sloped Bolster: Designed to naturally guide your hand to the most comfortable and safe grip.
  • Sleek, Durable, Comfortable Handle: Wood cracks and breeds germs. Plastic is slippery and doesn’t last. Our handles are crafted from POM, a thermoplastic known for strength and comfort. And the shape is as ergonomic as it is cool looking. Win, win! 
  • Rockwell Scale: This is a nerdy steel rating – the ideal range is 58-60. Lower, the knife will be soft, hence, inefficient; higher, the knife could be prone to chipping. Ours is 58. Just right.

What Makes Misen Great

The sloped bolster on the Misen Paring knife provides more room for your fingers to form a proper "pinch grip".

Premium AUS-10 Steel

The Paring Knife is made with AICHI AUS-10 steel, which offers an even better balance between lasting sharpness and durability with 2x the carbon content of some other “premium” knives.

The Misen Paring Knife is cut at an acute 15 degree edge angle.

Unique Sloped Bolster

Our unique sloped bolster pulls double duty: the sloped shape encourages a proper “pinch grip” for comfort and control, while the bolster’s placement creates better access to the full length of the blade.

The Misen Paring Knife is made with premium AICHI AUS-10 steel.

15° Blade Angles

While most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees, we use more acute 15 degree angles for a noticeably sharper cutting face.
