3.5" paring knife in stainless steel with black molded handle.  A well-loved classic- perfect for peeling, tournée, and any other small in-hand prep.  

Au Nain is a 4th generation family cutlery business that was founded in 1885 by Gaston Saint-Joanis in Saint-Rémy-sur-Durolle, near Thiers. The name 'Au Nain' (meaning The Dwarf) was chosen as a playful response to their main competitor at that time - 'Géant du Couteau' (The Knife Giant).  Much of Au Nain's manufacturing process is still in-house (from handling to polishing and sharpening, etc.) which is becoming less and less common.  They continue to uphold traditional knife making processes characteristic to Thiers. 

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Habitual dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.

Use on a quality wooden cutting board will help the knife stay sharper for longer. Use on hard surfaces like plates and bamboo will reduce the edge life and can result in edge damage.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most western knives perform best with a medium finish starting around 1000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Steel honing rods work well with this knife.
