Forged entirely from a single piece of 52100 carbon steel, the Blacksmith Paring Knife is a compact and ultra-precise tool made for cooks who value control, balance, and razor-sharp performance. With no separate handle, this integral design offers a raw, utilitarian aesthetic that feels solid in the hand and close to the work. It excels at small, focused tasks like slicing fruit, portioning cheese, or prepping herbs and small vegetables—where speed and accuracy matter.
 
52100 is a high-carbon tool steel known for its exceptional hardness, edge retention, and fine grain structure. Over time, it will develop a natural patina that reflects how and where you use it—adding character unique to your kitchen. Like all carbon steels, it can rust if neglected, so keep it clean, dry, and out of the dishwasher. Hand wash only, and dry thoroughly after each use.
This is a knife for those who value honest materials, sharp edges, and tools that improve with age.
 
Built by hand, made for cooks.
