These beautiful paring knives feature variations on the blade profile, but both feature stainless steel blades, with Rosewood scales and Brass pins. They are decades old, hand-forged in Thiers, France, renowned as one of the world's great cutlery centers. One has a 4 5/8'' blade with a classic, straight-blade silhouette of your everyday workhorse Paring Knife. The second has a 3- 3/4'' blade which curves slightly forward in a slight Yatagan style. Put these vintage knives to work, slicing carrots and cucumbers, cutting up berries for a fruit salad, even peeling potatoes: they can take it. Because these are truly vintage, we have limited quantities, and when our stock is gone, they cannot be replaced. Hand-wash and dry only, no dishwasher.
