Maneuvering around small fruits and vegetables can be difficult with a large knife, even for a professional chef. The Victorinox Forged 4 inch paring knife is the perfect blade for peeling, paring and tourneing small produce. The stainless steel blade has been ice-tempered for maximum edge retention and heightened responsiveness to sharpenings. The Victorinox Forged 4 inch paring knife has a long handle in a contoured shape for great weight when following the curves of a potato or radish.
