Description: Seattle knifemaker Noah Larson makes knives by hand out of his shop right on the Duwamish River. He's been making knives for over four years and specializes in culinary knives. He focuses heavily on creating a quality product while limiting his waste footprint and environmental impact. Larson Made stands for caring and repairing, not replacing. You can think of a paring knife as a smaller version of a chef's knife because a paring knife is quite versatile. 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 blade is convex ground by hand from AEB-L stainless steel. AEB-L is ultra-high performance -- combining the convenience of stainless steel with the ability to take an acute edge and hold it (a characteristic usually only found in carbon steels). AEB-L steel was designed for razors, which need corrosion resistance, high hardness, and very acute edges. Once you try a knife that is made with AEB-L, you'll immediately understand why it is coveted by knife enthusiasts, knifemakers, and professional chefs. The resulting blade has an extremely keen, long-lasting edge. The blade is beautifully thin for effortless slicing. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort.
The Japanese-inspired octagonal handle offers a comfortable, ambidextrous grip. The handle is myrtle wood from a small mill in Tillamook, Oregon. The wood selected is a nice combination of light and dark tones with dramatic figure. A Hassui ceramic wood finish seals the handle protecting it from water. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher. This knife is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen!
Excellent work throughout!
