This very small paring knife is hand forged from Japanese VG1 high carbon stainless steel. The little damascus blade is fitted with lovely piece of yew which has been stained purple due to the tannins in the timber reacting with the iron in a small nail, still visible on one side of the handle.
 
Total length: 195mm

Note: This knife is stainless steel but still requires handwashing only - and no dishwashers, ever!
