It is also unique with respect to where it is used...not just on a cutting board but also in hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this in mind, we redesigned our paring knife to have a smaller, more nimble handle that feels great in hand and gives its user a wide amount of maneuverability. This knife works wonderfully for small tasks that are easier completed by using the knife in-hand, such as hulling a strawberry, paring fruit, or deveining shrimp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHANDLE DESIGN \u0026amp; MATERIALS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery one of our knives is handmade, unique and numbered. This NORA knife has been handled with a sleek mix of G10 that was painstakingly glued together, and we added this to a base of classic stabilized cherry wood.  The overall result is a beautiful, polished look that is both modern but classic. We really like how it turned out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what is G10? \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/G10_(material)\"\u003eG10 \u003c\/a\u003eis an incredibly strong \u0026amp; durable fiberglass laminate that was originally used in the electronics industry.  It has been adapted in the knife making world and has proven to be an excellent material for handles as it has high strength, low moisture absorption and can be found in a variety of colors.  It’s one of our favorite materials to work with outside of wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood stabilization is an added feature that we offer with our knives. Wood that is stabilized has been injected with a clear acrylic resin under a \u003cspan color=\"#ff0000\"\u003evacuum process. Stabilization helps to minimize, if not eliminate, any cracking, warping, shrinkage and\/or expanding of the material. \u003c\/span\u003eStabilized wood will not absorb water and is generally impervious to oils. The process helps to ensure your knife has a long lifespan in the kitchen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSTEEL INFORMATION:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAEB-L STAINLESS STEEL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife blade is composed of AEB-L stainless steel which is a high-quality Swedish metal, originally developed for razor blades.  Recently, steel suppliers have made this steel available in thicker sheets and it has proven to be an excellent adaptation for the cutlery industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAEB-L has a beautiful balance of carbon and chromium and, with proper heat treatment, this steel produces both a very fine edge as well as excellent toughness and edge stability.  The fine grain structure also makes this steel very easy to sharpen. We believe it is one of the finest stainless steels available on the market today for use with kitchen knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a side note, there are two things we like to mention about this steel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.) This steel responds \u003cem\u003ebeautifully\u003c\/em\u003e to honing and if the knife is honed regularly it should need infrequent sharpening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2.) AEB-L is a stainless steel but just barely.  The higher carbon content in this stainless is what allows it to get a fine edge and higher hardness than other stainless steels but it also has a tendency to sometimes form very fine rust spots on the blade.  If this happens, these are easily removed with a green scotch brite pad and usually the rough end of a kitchen sponge will also do the trick. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nora Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31384171675753,"sku":"","price":221.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0344\/0381\/products\/20191127-114749-compress66.jpg?v=1574886381","url":"https:\/\/noraknives.mom\/products\/bf2019-nora-3-5-paring-knife-cherry-sunrise","provider":"Nora Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
