On May 31, we’ll randomly select one lucky winner to receive a Shun Classic 3 1/2-inch Paring knife absolutely free. This beautiful, razor-sharp knife is valued at $59.95 and carries a lifetime warranty.

This knife features:
• Forged “Super Steel” 3 1/2-in. blade of VG–10 steel core is clad with 32 layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel for superior strength.
