Paring Kitchen Knives
Small but mighty, the paring knife is the tool to reach for when tackling petite cutting jobs or working with small items. Thanks to their small blades and pointed tips, paring kitchen knives offer precision for detailed tasks, like deveining shrimp and segmenting citrus, as well as control for peeling and cutting small fruits and vegetables, like strawberries, kiwi, garlic, and potatoes.
Almost universally hailed as a kitchen essential, paring knives, along with santoku and chef's knives, are often found in knife blocks and sets, but if you have more than one cook at home you might want to pick up an extra so you can work together in the kitchen without sharing.
