Kona Damascus Paring Knife | Hand-Forged, 58HRC, Sapele Wood Handle

The Paring Knife That Changes How You Think About Paring Knives.

Most paring knives are an afterthought — a small, cheap blade that came in a set and gets used for everything from peeling apples to opening packages. The Kona Damascus Paring Knife by Faneema Cutlery is the opposite of that. It is a deliberately crafted, premium kitchen tool designed to make every peeling, trimming, and detail task feel effortless — and to look exceptional on any counter or in any kitchen.

Hand-forged Damascus steel. Sapele wood handle. Renaissance Wax and mineral oil protective finish applied before it leaves the workshop. A knife built in response to what serious home cooks actually asked for.

The Blade

• Hand-forged Damascus steel — multi-layer construction with the distinctive Damascus pattern unique to each blade
• 58HRC hardness — hard enough to hold a working edge through daily use; tough enough to resist chipping
• Razor-sharp from the box — hand-forged and finished to be ready to use immediately
• Precision cutting edge — engineered for the fine, controlled cuts that define good paring knife work

The Handle

• Sapele wood — a premium hardwood with interlocking grain and a warm, rich tone; both beautiful and functional
• Comfortable in hand — shaped for the close-grip work that paring knives demand
• Treated with Renaissance Wax and mineral oil — food-safe protective finish applied at the workshop; ready to use from day one

Includes

• Kona Damascus Paring Knife
• Premium gift box — presentation-ready for gifting or personal purchase

Best Used For

• Peeling fruit and vegetables with precision and control
• Coring apples, pears, and stone fruit
• Trimming, scoring, and detail prep work at the cutting board
• Decorative garnish work and plating detail
• Any task that requires a short, manoeuvrable blade and a confident, sharp edge

Care Instructions

• Hand wash with warm water after every use — dry immediately and completely with a soft towel
• Never put in the dishwasher — heat and detergent will damage both the Damascus blade and the Sapele handle
• Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a knife sheath — not loose in a drawer
• Apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil to the blade periodically to maintain the Damascus finish
• Treat the Sapele handle with a drop of natural wood oil occasionally to keep it conditioned
