Zen-Wu G-1 Paring Knife

The G-1 is a single-bevel Kiridashi-style paring knife with a brass handle and a Magnacut steel edge. The blade is dovetail-laminated: the Magnacut edge is set into a dovetail joint in the brass body and welded in place, for both a mechanical interlock and a full metallurgical bond. The back is hollow ground in a triple-groove pattern. Flat and ready to shave out of the box.

Discontinued. Its successor, the G-2 Paring Knife, moves to a titanium-alloy handle and a single hollow grind. The G-1 remains available in limited stock for anyone who prefers brass.
