The Paring knife is a small all-purpose knife that gets its name from its work. Cutting away the outer surface and separating the ends of either fruit or vegetables is referred to as pairing.

The FRF 8008 10cm Paring knife has a light, short blade with a pointed tip that is best suited for more delicate tasks that the kitchen knife would be too large for. The tough edge can handle tougher root vegetables or more delicate tasks like peeling and trimming.

A paring knife is always the knife of choice when it comes to slicing vegetables, de-veining seafood, and peeling all kinds of fruit in the Chef's arsenal. The paring knife is regarded as the second most valuable knife in the kitchen by many chefs.
