This paring knife is made would be an excellent addition to your kitchen! It is made from a single piece of 1095 steel, and I added the 550 cord to the handle for more grip and comfort. The overall length of the knife is 7 & 5/8". The blade is 3 & 1/2" long and 5/8" wide, the handle is 4 & 1/8" long and 7/8" wide. As always, the knife will come exactly as pictured and sharpened. Thank you for looking!
