4116 Long Paring Knife Blank (4116PARINGL)

4116 Long 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.

X50CrMoV15 is the pragmatic choice. Molybdenum and vanadium give it wear resistance without brittleness, and the chromium content makes it genuinely low-maintenance in a working kitchen.

Every blank starts as certified Voestalpine stock. We profile and hand grind it in our own workshop, then send it back to Voestalpine for professional heat treatment — the same furnaces the steel came from.

Chef and kitchen knife blanks are our speciality, but the same workshop turns out EDC, bushcraft and hunting blade blanks from the same Voestalpine stock. Ships sharpened and ready for handle work — tell us if you would rather finish the edge yourself.
