The paring knife is every chef's answer when it comes to precision and accuracy. This 3¼" Swiss Classic Spear Point Paring Knife is incredibly sharp and versatile, perfect for tasks ranging from slicing and dicing to peeling and garnishing. Achieve uniform, smooth cuts that will elevate every meal you prepare. With the 3¼" Swiss Classic Paring Knife, you can effortlessly remove pepper seeds, core an apple, trim beans, and devein shrimp with ease.

A versatile paring knife is a crucial tool in any kitchen. Similar to a chef's knife, a paring knife is designed to handle a wide variety of tasks. However, the primary purpose of a paring knife is detailed work and enhanced control. Its slightly curved blade and pointed tip resemble a chef's knife but on a smaller scale, allowing for precise, controlled cuts. The pointed tip enables intricate cuts and offers the ability to check the tenderness of meat and vegetables. With increased maneuverability and dexterity, the opportunities to utilize this nimble knife are endless.

The 3¼" Swiss Classic Parer features a world-renowned blade and impeccable balance, providing a professional-grade tool optimized for home use. The tapered knife edge is ground in two directions to maintain sharpness for longer periods and can easily be restored to its original sharp state. The Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Classic collection boasts a contemporary handle inspired by the patented Fibrox Pro line, designed to reduce hand and wrist strain while offering a secure grip. The lightweight and durable contoured nylon handle make these knives feel more like an extension of your hand rather than just tools.

Regardless of whether you are an experienced or novice home chef, Victorinox Swiss Army not only provides the right tools and expertise but also instills the confidence needed to achieve culinary aspirations. With a heritage dating back to 1884, Victorinox knives are expertly crafted in Switzerland and come with a lifetime guarantee against defects in material and workmanship.

Originally known as Forschner, Victorinox began selling cutlery in the U.S. in 1937 through a distributor called R.H. Forschner & Co. In 2011, Victorinox consolidated its product lines, including kitchen knives, under the well-known Victorinox Swiss Army umbrella name. Even today, Victorinox Swiss Army continues to offer a few accessories, such as the High Heat Turner line, under the Forschner name.

Taking care of your knives is essential for their longevity. Victorinox Swiss Army recommends hand washing all knives to ensure longevity. While Swiss Classic knives are dishwasher safe, hand washing is still preferred to prevent collisions that can dull the knife edges caused by high-pressure water sprays in dishwashers. Honing your knife regularly will maintain its sharpness, but if the blade is dull, pitted, or has visible nicks, sharpening with a Swiss Sharp Handheld Sharpener (49002) or by a professional is recommended.

In 1884, Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland, producing top-quality steel cutlery with a proprietary edge that became globally renowned. The company, now known as Victorinox, was born from humble beginnings and has become a worldwide icon. Today, Victorinox remains owned and operated by the Elsener family, continuing to reside in the Swiss village of Ibach.
