Taylor 5248384 – 3.5″ Professional Paring Knife

A quality commercial paring knife, an essential tool in your restaurant’s kitchen

This is a professional-quality paring knife for use in commercial kitchens and restaurants. It has a larger soft, ergonomic handle that is non-slip and dishwasher safe. Its blade is 3.5″ inches long (8.8 cm). It’s a higher-quality paring knife but at a reasonable pricepoint so you can feel good at having a handful of these throughout your kitchen. This knife is perfect for peeling, trimming, and garnishing small fruits and vegetables. If you’re looking for a more economic solution, check out this Browne paring knife with a smaller plastic handle.

This blade has been made with high-carbon German steel with a Rockwell hardness rating of HRC 56: what this means is that it is hard enough for commercial use and because it’s softer than stainless steel, it makes it extremely sharp, and actually easier to keep sharp over longer periods of time. It is stain resistant, and comes with a lifetime limited warranty from manufacturer defects. It has a really nice non-slip grip that is soft and has some give — it’s not a cheap hard plastic.
