Paring and Garnishing Knife, 12-Piece Set, 3 Inch Blade, Stainless Steel, Spear Point, Fruit and Vegetable

Whether it's dicing an onion or breaking down a chicken, a chef's knife can handle it all. However, there are certain tasks that require a smaller, more delicate tool. For jobs like mincing shallots, cutting up small fruits, and trimming vegetables, a paring knife is often the better choice. Any task that would feel overly clumsy with a large chef's knife is well-suited to a paring knife.

Paring knives are small, allowing for different grips and cutting methods. You can work on a board when mincing a shallot, or you can cut "grandma-style" by holding the knife and food aloft and letting the trimmings or pieces fall into whatever vessel is below them. Additionally, paring knives are useful for odd jobs in the kitchen, such as testing the doneness of a cake or the tenderness of a roasted beet, without leaving behind obvious signs of insertion.

These knives are also great for peeling onions and garlic, as their small size and sharp edge make it easier to slide under the dry skin and pry it free, compared to using just your fingers.

A paring knife is a small knife with a plain edge blade, designed for peeling and other small or intricate work, such as deveining a shrimp, removing the seeds from a jalapeno, or cutting small garnishes. Paring knives are typically between 6 and 10 cm (2.5 and 4 inches) long, and are meant to be an all-purpose knife, similar to a chef's knife, but smaller.

The set includes 12 sharp stainless steel paring knives, each with a 3-inch blade and a 3.5-inch contoured, ergonomic handle with a beautiful bright green color. These multipurpose paring knives are designed for a variety of tasks, including garnishing, mincing, peeling, coring, slicing, and dicing. The razor-sharp, laser-tested, tapered knife edge is ground to a specific angle to hold a sharp edge longer and ensure maximum cutting performance and durability.

The textured, contoured handle is dishwasher safe and highly durable, with an ergonomic design for a non-slip grip. The short, flexible 3-inch blade provides enhanced accuracy and precision, and is made of rust-free stainless steel, making this paring knife optimally built for jobs where control is essential.

These paring knives are an essential tool in every kitchen, perfect for trimming, peeling, and slicing fresh produce. They are versatile enough to handle a variety of tasks, from peeling fruits and vegetables to trimming beans, and are a must-have for any well-equipped kitchen.
