Paring Knife 3.3 Inch Blade Chef Kitchen Home Cutting Tool Cutlery Knives

Paring Knife

Discover a versatile paring knife designed for precise everyday kitchen work. With its compact 85 mm (3.35 inch) blade, stainless clad steel construction, and elegant rosewood handle, this small kitchen knife is an excellent choice for peeling, trimming, slicing, and detailed food preparation. Its practical size also makes it convenient for restaurants, travel, camping, and outdoor cooking.

Compact Japanese-Style Paring Knife

This paring knife combines a compact blade with a comfortable full-length design, making it easy to control when working on smaller ingredients. The 85 mm (3.35 inch) blade provides excellent maneuverability for detailed cutting tasks where a larger chef knife may feel unnecessarily bulky.

The total knife length is approximately 210 mm (8.27 inches), while the blade has a thickness of approximately 2 mm. This balance gives the knife a practical combination of precision, strength, and comfortable handling.

The blade is made from stainless clad steel and hardened to approximately HRC 58–59. This hardness provides a useful balance between edge retention, toughness, and ease of maintenance, making the knife suitable for regular kitchen use.

A Versatile Small Kitchen Knife

A good paring knife is one of the most useful tools in a kitchen. The compact blade is particularly convenient for tasks such as peeling apples and potatoes, trimming vegetables, removing seeds, cutting small fruits, preparing garlic, and making detailed cuts.

Because of its small size, this knife can also be useful for restaurant professionals who need a precise knife for preparation and finishing work. It is easy to handle when working directly in the hand or on a cutting board.

The knife is also a practical option for travel and camping. Its compact dimensions make it easier to pack than a large chef’s knife while still providing a useful cutting tool for preparing fruits, vegetables, meat, and other foods during outdoor cooking.

Rosewood Handle

The handle is made from rosewood, giving the knife a warm natural appearance and comfortable feel in the hand. The natural character of wood makes every handle visually unique, with variations in grain, color, and pattern.

Please note: because natural wood and handmade finishing can vary, the exact grain and appearance of the rosewood handle may differ from the knife shown in the photographs.

Stainless Clad Construction

The stainless clad blade combines a functional stainless outer layer with a hardened steel cutting core. The clad construction provides additional protection for the blade while maintaining a dedicated cutting edge designed for kitchen performance.

With a hardness of approximately 58–59 HRC, the blade is suitable for everyday cutting and can be maintained with standard kitchen sharpening equipment.

Knife Care and Sharpening

To maintain the edge, use a suitable whetstone or quality knife sharpener and sharpen the blade regularly rather than waiting until it becomes completely dull. A fine finishing stone can help restore a smooth, clean edge.

Although the blade uses stainless clad steel, proper knife care is still recommended. Hand wash and dry the knife after use. Avoid prolonged contact with water, acidic foods, or moisture, and do not leave the knife soaking in a sink. For the best performance and appearance, avoid the dishwasher and store the knife in a safe, dry location.
