Description: This exquisite paring knife was created by Forged in Fire winner, Jordan LaMothe. Twenty-three year old Jordan works in a coal forge on his family's farm in Hebron, NY. His tremendous attention to detail is matched by his exquisite understanding of chef's knives.
The paring knife gets its name from its main function—removing or “paring” away things like peels or pits from fruits and vegetables. It’s ideal for peeling, coring, trimming, decorating, and other detail work. Its small size gives you complete control over the tip and edge of the blade. Generally, you'll use this knife in your hand rather than against a cutting board, though paring knives can also be used for chopping small foods, such as garlic cloves or ginger.
The 3-1/2 inch blade was forged to shape from high performing twist pattern damascus. By forging the blade closely to shape, Jordan ensures a keen, long lasting edge. The spine is nicely rounded for a comfortable grip. The integral bolster was forged to shape, showing tremendous skill.
The handle combines ebony with a dyed and stabilized maple burl spacer. The natural wood is beautifully contoured for a secure, comfortable grip. A central pin and stainless spacer add nice contrast.
The blade features a perfect distal taper keeping this knife light and nimble. An S-grind on both sides of the knife reduces overall weight and aids in food release.
Exceptional work throughout!
