AEB-L Solid Paring Knife Blank
A paring blade is the smallest tool in the kit and one of the most used. Peeling, coring, deveining and detail trimming all happen in the hand rather than on the board.
Few stainless steels sharpen as easily as AEB-L. The fine grain structure takes a keen edge quickly and holds it well at kitchen hardness, with corrosion resistance to match.
We buy our steel direct from Voestalpine, grind each blade by hand on the belt grinder, and return the finished blanks to Voestalpine for professional heat treatment. No guesswork, no garage quenching.
