Paring Knife

A paring knife is a small and versatile knife that is ideal for peeling, trimming, and slicing fruits and vegetables. A paring knife has a short and narrow blade, usually between 3 and 6 inches long, and a sharp and pointed tip. The blade has a double bevel edge, meaning that both sides of the blade are sharpened. The blade is also thin and light, making it easy to maneuver and control with one hand. A paring knife can be used for various tasks, such as coring tomatoes, segmenting oranges, deveining shrimp, or cutting citrus peels for cocktails. The name “paring” comes from the verb “to pare”, which means to cut off the outer skin or layer of something. A paring knife is a useful tool for anyone who wants to prepare delicate and precise cuts of fruits and vegetables.
