N690 Solid Paring Knife Blank (N690PARING)

N690 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.

This is Böhler's cobalt-alloyed stainless, and it has earned its reputation in kitchen work. Fine carbide structure means a clean, sharp edge; the chromium content means you can leave it wet without regret.

Steel sourced directly from Voestalpine, hand ground by our team, and heat treated professionally by Voestalpine before it ships. Every blank arrives at working hardness, ready to finish.
