A paring knife is one of the most versatile knives in the kitchen. It can handle any task that is too small, or too delicate for a chef's knife. There are no fancy gadgets needed, with just a small knife and a little practice, you can make the same types of cuts as the pros. The blade consists of stainless steel so it won't rust even after multiple washes. The blade is 3.5 inches in length to increase maneuverability when dealing with small foods. The package contains two paring knives.
