K Sabatier Authentique Paring Knife 80mm - HIGH CARBON STEEL Made In France

Experience the Authentique Line's Most Precise Blade

The K Sabatier Authentique Paring Knife 80mm is forged in Thiers, France from high carbon steel - the smallest blade in the Authentique range, delivering the finest edge and most complete control for peeling, trimming, and all the detail work that demands precision over power.

The Specs

• Blade length: 80mm (3 in.)
• Handle: Black POM, hand-set on the tang with three brass rivets
• Construction: 100% forged - tempered, ground, and polished crosswise
• Origin: Handcrafted in Thiers, France

The Authentique Difference

The Authentique line represents K Sabatier at its most refined. High carbon steel achieves greater hardness than standard carbon, holding a finer edge through repeated use - making every peeling stroke cleaner and every trim more precise. At 80mm, this is the knife used in hand for peeling stone fruit, segmenting citrus, trimming herbs, and all the fine detail work that a larger blade simply can't reach. Forged from a single mass of steel, the blade, bolster, and tang are one continuous piece for exceptional balance even at this compact size. The black POM handle is hand-set on the full tang with three brass rivets.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Wipe dry immediately after use - high carbon steel will rust if left wet
• Apply a light coat of food-safe oil occasionally to protect the blade
• Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
• A natural patina will develop with use - this is normal and protects the steel
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
