A carbon steel paring knife hand forged from railroad tracks in the South Korea blacksmith shop run by Master Shin In-young. With a rough, forged finish and sharp edge, the blade harmoniously combines traditional Korean style with a faceted, yet comfortably rounded hidden tang wa handle, hand carved from chestnut wood with a forged steel ring decoration. A unique, handmade gift for anyone who loves to cook both indoors and out by the fire.
