Veark PRK10 Forged Paring knife

A paring knife is a must-have tool in any kitchen. It is basically a small version of a traditional chef’s knife, it is great for all sorts of precise, small-scale cutting and chopping jobs.

The PRK10 is part of Veark's fully forged collection of knives. It is drop forged from a single piece of stainless steel by experienced craftsmen in the respected town of Solingen, Germany.

The idea for the collection was drawn from the belief that the knife is a tool - maybe even the most essential tool in the kitchen. We took visual cues from the world of traditional metal tools to create a unique signature that is both visually appealing and highly functional.

The drop forging process leaves each knife with an individual pattern on the handle. A beautiful detail that makes each knife unique while serving as a reminder of the honest craftsmanship that went into its making.

All their forged knives are fully symmetrical and 100% suitable for left- and right-handed use.
