A paring knife is a small all-purpose knife in the kitchen but is mainly used for "paring" fruit. This knife if only available in 1/8" AEB-L, a great low carbon stainless steel and .5/32" 80crv2, a great all around steel. This is a knife blank, meaning that it's a piece of metal cut in the shape of a knife; it isn't sharp and there is no handle. Your job is to turn it into a beautiful knife.
We highly recommend using our AEB-Lstainless option for our kitchen knives. The stainless will offer better corrosion resistance and last longer in the kitchen. Otherwise we still offer our 80crv2 which is still a good all around steel option.
It comes annealed to make shaping your knife easier. Steel will need to be heat treated(hardened) in order to keep an edge.
