Black Pairing Knife - 10cm

$58.50 NZD

This Paring Knife is a great all-rounder. Its short, narrow blade makes it ideal for slicing smaller fruits and vegetables, peeling vegetables and precision tasks such as hulling strawberries, seeding chillies or deveining prawns.

The knives are taper ground with the forging running down the full length of the handle. Each knife handle incorporates an internal back weight, giving an excellent balance and grip.

Ice hardening processes make the blades exceptionally sharp. These are really professional kitchen knives, superb in quality and beautiful to use. These are razor sharp knives. The high carbon stainless steel blades exploit the latest techniques of steel casting and are then ice hardened to minus 80°c. This innovative process stabilises the metallurgical structure of the steel, creating an extremely hard and durable cutting edge.

Black Pairing Knife - Length 10cm, Width 1.7cm sold individually. All knives are supplied in individual David Mellor boxes.
