Features

The True Paring Knife 4045-02 is a compact fixed-blade culinary tool engineered for precision-focused food preparation across backyard and outdoor cooking environments. The acute clip-point blade is manufactured from CPM-154 stainless steel and heat treated to a hardness range of 58–61 HRC, supporting edge retention, corrosion resistance, and consistent cutting performance. The stonewash blade finish reduces visible wear while maintaining low friction for controlled coring, peeling, and paring tasks that require fine tip accuracy and clean edge engagement.
Ergonomic handle scales are constructed from Richlite, a dense paper composite material that provides a stable, comfortable grip while resisting moisture and temperature variation. Over time, the material naturally develops a patina influenced by light and handling exposure, altering its surface tone without affecting performance. Edge geometry refined through a SelectEdge grinding process enhances precision and slicing efficiency. The balanced profile and compact form factor make the knife well suited for detailed prep work in camp kitchens, outdoor grills, and mobile cooking setups where control and reliability are critical.
