Paring Knife 3.5" Scanpan Classic

A paring knife is a small knife with a plain edge blade that is ideal for peeling and other small or intricate work (such as de-veining a shrimp, removing the seeds from a jalapeño, or cutting small garnishes). It is designed to be an all-purpose knife, similar to a chef's knife, except smaller. Paring knives are usually between 2½ and 4 inches, as anything larger than about 4 or 5 inches is typically considered a utility knife, though the distinction is somewhat vague.

SCANPAN Classic Cutlery is fully forged from one piece of hi-carbon, no-stain steel, using 1.4114 x 45 Cr Mo V15 German cutlery steel for best performance.

Each knife is individually tested for the correct Rockwell hardness of 57.

The 20° grinding angle maintains its shape over a long time and is easily re-sharpened with the SCANPAN Classic sharpening steel.

The ergonomically designed tri-lobal handle provides a secure grip, even when wet.

SCANPAN Classic Cutlery is designed in Denmark and manufactured to rigorous specification and under license and supervision in China. The hi-carbon no-stain steel is imported from Germany.

SCANPAN Classic Cutlery will last a lifetime if properly cleaned and cared for. Follow these instructions to enjoy these fine, professional cutting tools:

Treat knives with respect and due caution to avoid accidental injury or damage to the blade.

Use soft, non-abrasive surfaces, such as wooden or plastic cutting boards, to prevent premature dulling of the knife edge.

Use the SCANPAN Classic sharpening steel in regular intervals to keep the knife sharp at all times. Sharp knives are safe knives!

While SCANPAN Classic Cutlery is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend cleaning and thoroughly drying the knives by hand after each use. Knives that are left to sit with food or water residue could develop unsightly pits and stains.

Store knives in a knife roll, knife block or in knife inserts that are available to fit in kitchen drawers. Never store knives loose in a kitchen drawer to avoid accidents and damage to the blades.
