Collection: Global Paring Knives

A paring knife is a short-bladed knife used for peeling, trimming, coring, segmenting and other detailed prep. Much of the work is done in the hand rather than on a board, which is why the blade is kept short and controllable.

A spear point paring knife has a curved edge running to a centred tip and suits peeling and turning vegetables in the hand. A straight blade sits flatter and gives more control on a board for trimming and precise cuts.

Five Global paring knives are listed, covering spear point and straight blade shapes. Most kitchen sections keep more than one paring knife in service, because they are picked up constantly through a prep shift and are easily misplaced.

Yes. A shorter paring blade is easier to control for work done in the hand, such as peeling and coring. A slightly longer blade covers more cuts on a board before a cook needs to change to another knife.
