4" Paring Knife - Pin Series (X020)

This is the knife you hold in your hand rather than drag across a board. Peel an apple without breaking the spiral, segment a grapefruit down to the pith, trim the eyes out of a pineapple - these jobs need 4 inches and a sharp tip, not 8 inches and a rock-chop motion. The paring knife is what you reach for when precision matters more than speed.

Small Blade, Serious Steel

The same 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core used across the Pin Series goes into this small blade. Vacuum heat-treated to 60 HRC, it takes a finer edge than the German steels in cheaper paring knives. The three-layer construction keeps it stiff enough to control without being so rigid that it snaps under lateral pressure. Sharp. Light. Stays that way.

Olive Wood Handle, Made for Grip

Natural olive wood is denser than beech or pine, so the handle doesn't develop micro-pits from moisture the way softer timbers do. The full-tang construction means the steel goes all the way through, keeping the knife from feeling front-heavy when you're working in the air. It's riveted tight and stays tight, even with daily use.
