Peeling an apple in the hand, hulling strawberries and trimming the root end from a shallot call for a short, pointed blade that is easy to steer. This 3-inch Innovation Black paring knife is made for that close work. Its ceramic blade will not rust or react with food, so lemon juice and onion leave no stain or metallic taste behind.Kyocera rates its Innovation blades to stay sharp twice as long as its earlier ceramic blades, which Kyocera already credits with holding an edge up to ten times longer than steel. On a knife that spends most of its life on fruit and vegetables, that means long stretches between sharpenings. Ceramic is hard and brittle, though, so leave bones and frozen food to a steel paring knife.Customers ask us how a ceramic knife gets sharpened when it finally dulls. It needs diamond. The Kyocera Diamond Wheel Sharpener handles touch-ups at home, and Kyocera’s authorized service provider, EVERSHARP, sharpens blades and removes chips (see Kyocera’s sharpening service page).
Paring Knife or Utility Knife?Choose the 3-inch blade for work done in the hand or on small produce. The Innovation Black 4.5-inch Utility Knife adds enough length to halve a sandwich or slice a cucumber on the board. For the same blade length with a white blade and a choice of handle colors, see the Innovation White 3-inch Paring Knife. Learn More
