Description: Bill Thomas is a knifemaker out of N. Henderson, Illinois. This paring knife will be a joy to use in the kitchen. As of 2017, Bill is 66 years old. He began making knives in his mid 20's. He has completed around 75 knives.
The paring knife gets its name from its main function—removing or “paring” away things like peels or pits from fruits and vegetables. It’s ideal for peeling, coring, trimming, decorating, and other detail work. Its small size gives you complete control over the tip and edge of the blade. Generally, you'll use this knife in your hand rather than against a cutting board, though it can also be used for chopping small foods, such as garlic cloves or ginger.
The blade is made from stainless damascus forged by Damasteel in Sweden. The full flat ground blade was heat treated professionally by Peters' Heat Treating to RC 60 for a perfect balance between edge holding and durability. A distal taper to both blade and full tang provides excellent balance. The spine and choil are softly rounded to remain comfortable even during hours of use.
Black G-10 handle scales are nicely domed for a secure, comfortable grip. This knife is equally comfortable in a pinch grip as it would be holding it during peeling tasks. The G10 handle will hold up well to the heavy demands of either a home or professional kitchen.
Exceptional work throughout!
