Got this paring knife from the Kershaw Shun Classic series:

3 1/2" VG-10 sandwiched between (SanMai) 410 stainless damascus steel

8" overall length, 4 1/4" handle including bolster.

A paring knife is a very handy size and probably make a good outdoors knife too - have to find a sheath for it - I wonder if the AG Russell Woodswalker hip pocket sheath would fit?

BTTT - because of the interest and the closeness of the 2004 Blade Show -

I thought some might like to revisit these photos I took at last year's show.
