This **Ontario Old Hickory paring knife** is enhanced with an 8 cm blade. A modest knife with a blade shape that might remind you of a kiritsuke. Perfect for general purposes: cutting vegetables, meat and fish. The reversed tanto-profile of the kiritsuke makes the tip very agile for the finer cutting jobs, but also vulnerable. Please note: not suited to cut through bones.
The blade is made from 1075 carbon steel. Tough and easy to sharpen, and it retains its sharpness well. Exactly what you want. Do, however, be careful with moisture and acids: 1075 is not completely stainless. It will as such form a [patina](/en/ct/what-is-patina-on-a-knife.htm). Clean it after use and occasionally add a couple drops of oil to the blade, otherwise it can start to rust. If you carefully build the patina the knife will only look better in time and become truly unique. The handle of this knife is made from dark hard wood, secured with brass pins. A classic combination.

Because of their rough, robust design they are popular amongst BBQ enthusiasts who look for tough products. With it Ontario demonstrates that even after 100 years the Old Hickory is still fashionable.
