Paring Knives

Home > Kitchen > Professional Cutlery > Paring Knives

Paring knives are used to slice, peel and chop small fruits and vegetables. They have short blades with sharp edges to easily pierce the fruit. There are four different blade styles to choose from, each is designed for a specific paring task. Paring knives with a spear point are the most versatile design and are often called the chef’s parer. It can be used for pretty much any paring task, like peeling and slicing small produce, removing stems or performing garnishing tasks. If you will be performing a specific paring task, then you should consider a specialized blade shape. Paring knives with a bird’s beak shape are ideal for peeling round fruits. Those with flat, blunt blade are used to slice and chop small foods, like garlic, and are referred to as sheep’s foot parers. Finally, if you will be only slicing normal sized fruits and vegetables, a serrated edge is ideal because the blade will not dull out as fast and will make short work of products that have a tough rind.
