A paring knife is a small, versatile kitchen knife designed for precision tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing small fruits and vegetables. Typically featuring a blade between 65 to 100 mm, it offers excellent control for intricate cuts, making it ideal for tasks like deveining shrimp, hulling strawberries, and creating decorative garnishes. Paring knives come in different blade styles, including straight, curved, and serrated, to suit various cutting techniques. With a sharp, pointed tip and ergonomic handle, a paring knife is an essential tool for chefs and home cooks alike, perfect for delicate and detailed kitchen work.
