3" Paring Knife - Mu Series
3″ Paring Knife
The Paring Knife, with the blade that tapers to a point, is the most popular kitchen knife and is considered to be the second most often used knife in the kitchen with many home chefs having three or four in the drawer. There are many grips depending on the task and they usually involve holding the item by hand when making the cut. This size blade is ideal for paring, peeling, scraping, slicing, and trimming small fruits and vegetables. It is perfect for chopping garlic, shallots, and ginger.
The Mu knife story begins with the ancient Zen philosophy. When discussing Zen Buddhism, one often encounters the character for emptiness, mu, in expressions such as “no self,” “no ego,” “no holiness,” and “no permanence.” It is through the actual experience of mu — which means transcending affirmation and negation, being and non-being — that satori or spiritual awakening occurs and one can finally come to realize the essential spirit of Zen. The literal translation from Japanese is “none” or “without” meaning that the answer to a question may neither be right or wrong thus leading to the universally derived Mu knife collection. The knives are a fusion of East and West combining the best of both cultures. The bamboo handles are a natural and environmentally friendly material. The steel is vintage high carbon molybdenum vanadium stock that has been expertly heat treated and ground to a razor sharp edge. The Mu knife design and style is truly international and the quality superb.
