Hammer Down Forge Paring Knife - Black Richlite - Turquoise Spacer - Two Tone MagnaCut Blade

MagnaCut Fixed Blade with Richlite Handles

Hammer Down Forge builds this paring knife for kitchen work that demands precision and control. Sized for detail tasks like peeling, trimming, and small produce prep, it's a compact companion for cooks who appreciate a hand-forged tool over a mass-produced one.

Blade

The 3.75" blade is forged from MagnaCut steel with a two tone finish and a 3.5" cutting edge at 0.10" thick. MagnaCut is a modern stainless steel developed specifically for knife use, offering excellent edge retention, strong corrosion resistance, and enough toughness to handle repeated kitchen use without chipping. It holds a fine edge well, which matters for the controlled, close-up cuts a paring knife is meant for.

Handle

The handle is black Richlite with a turquoise spacer. Richlite is a dense, resin-infused paper composite originally developed for countertops - it's stable, water-resistant, and holds up well to kitchen moisture and repeated washing. The turquoise spacer adds a visual accent between the handle and bolster. At 2.89oz, the knife is light and nimble in hand.

Carry

As a fixed blade kitchen knife, there is no lock mechanism to speak of. It is intended for use and storage in a knife block or drawer rather than belt or pocket carry.

Made in the USA.
