PARING KNIFE

A paring knife is a small, versatile knife with a sharp, pointed blade that is typically between 2.5 and 4 inches in length. The blade is usually straight, but can also be slightly curved or angled, and it tapers to a sharp point at the tip.

Paring knives are designed for precision work, such as peeling, trimming, and slicing small fruits and vegetables, and for delicate tasks like deveining shrimp or creating garnishes. Their small size and pointed blade make them ideal for tasks that require a high degree of control and precision, such as removing the eyes and blemishes from potatoes or apples.

When using a paring knife, it's important to use a gentle touch and to keep the blade sharp, as a dull blade can be more dangerous than a sharp one. With proper care and maintenance, a paring knife can be a valuable tool in any cook's arsenal.
