Description: This custom paring knife was made by Steve Grosvenor (Red Rock Tools) of Beresford, South Dakota. Steve is a Forged in Fire champion (season 4, episode 9) and an American Bladesmith Society Journeyman Smith. He is also a former US Army Airborne Infantry solider and fabricator. Today, he is a full time bladesmith specializing in the high performance forged blade.
Paring knives are one of the essential kitchen knives every cook should have on hand. After a chef's knife, you need a paring knife. It's perfect for any paring task, from hulling strawberries to peeling an apple. It also handles jobs such as chopping small foods, like garlic cloves or ginger, against a cutting board. The 3-1/2 inch blade is the perfect length for most jobs.
The blade is high performing 52100 carbon steel. 52100 is considered by many knife makers and knife users to be among the highest performing steel used to make knives today. Because this knife is made from carbon steel, it needs to be oiled and dried before being put away. We recommend using camellia oil to oil the blade and tang. At 62 Hrc, this knife will hold an exceptional edge.
Double dyed and stabilized maple burl handle scales are set on the full tang for strength and durability. The hand contoured scales are extremely comfortable and are carved to accommodate a pinch grip. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
