Norvic Worstead 3.5" Paring Knife

Nimble Precision. 67-Layer Damascus Steel. Hand-Finished in Norfolk. The Paring knife is the small but mighty essential for intricate, detailed prep. Whether you are peeling apples, coring tomatoes, or meticulously scoring pork crackling, its compact 3.5-inch blade gives you total command for off-board, in-hand work. The Worstead range bridges the gap between premium Japanese aesthetics and rugged Western reliability, turning tedious peeling tasks into effortless, satisfying work. The Steel: 67-Layer Damascus At its core is Japanese AUS-10 steel. This hard cutting core takes a razor-sharp edge and holds onto it through heavy daily use. It is wrapped in 67 layers of folded Damascus steel, which doesn't just look striking on a magnetic rack, the softer layers of cladding steel help the knife with improved stainless and shock absorbing qualities. The Handle: Heavy-Duty G10 The Worstead handles have a classic, triple-riveted Western profile for uncompromising leverage and comfort. The handle is machined from G10, a dense resin laminate that simply does not care about hot water, acidic juices, or the general mess of a busy kitchen. It fills the palm naturally and locks in securely, preventing any blade twist when your hands are wet, which is essential when performing delicate cuts toward your own thumb. The Norvic Difference: Hand-Finished in Norfolk A premium paring knife needs an edge you can trust straight out of the box. That is why we finish this blade in-house. We refine the factory edge on our Tormek system, hone it, and polish it with 1-micron diamond suspension. This creates an edge that bites instantly and glides effortlessly through delicate skins with zero sawing required.
