The soft stainless steel cladding on this XL paring knife shields a hard carbon steel core, allowing the cutting edge to be heat treated to a higher HRC without sacrificing durability. Because the outer layers are softer, future thinning are less labor-intensive. Beyond the performance benefits, the blade is simply beautiful. Tapered full tang handle adorned with snakewood and butter scotch micarta pins.
