Michel Bras Sheep’s-Foot Paring Knife, 3"

World-renowned French chef Michel Bras believes cooking, like any art, requires the finest tools. Created in Japan in collaboration with Kai, the producer of Shun knives, this paring knife has a short, maneuverable blade that quickly trims and peels fruits and vegetables.

• Hand assembled to exacting specifications.
• Matte-finish blade is composed of three stainless-steel layers: a hardened VG-10 core sandwiched between two layers of more flexible steel for increased durability and resistance.
• Blade is coated in titanium to enhance its antioxidation properties.
• Etched with a unique serial number and Bras's signature emblem of cistre, the delicate Alpine fennel that grows in the hills above his Aubrac restaurant.
• For quick identification, the handle is inscribed with the knife item number (#1), signifying the blade's form and function.
• Black PakkaWood handle is designed in the traditional Japanese chestnut shape, to sit comfortably in the hand.
• Comes in a maple sheath with a magnetized interior that holds the blade snugly in place for safe drawer storage.

• 3"-long blade.
• 4"-long handle.
• 2.5 oz.
• Made in Japan.

Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
• It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
• Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, your knife should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
• Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
