F. Dick 1905 3.5-inch Paring Knife
Peeling, slicing and garnishing fruits and vegetables are the jobs for this 3.5-inch 1905 paring knife. It comes with a keen edge that cuts thin, even tomato slices for a knife this small.A paring knife does much of its work in the hand, and the short blade keeps the tip close to the fingers for control when hulling strawberries or coring tomatoes. The ringed 1905 handle gives a secure grip for that close work.A paring knife also handles small jobs at the stove, such as scoring the skin of a sausage, testing a potato for doneness or cutting a lemon to finish a dish. Keep one near the range so the chef’s knife stays on the board.For tourné cuts and peeling round produce, the curved 1905 3-inch bird’s beak peeler is better shaped. Larger fruit and slicing on the board suit the 1905 6-inch utility knife. The comparison table below lists the 1905 paring and utility knives. Learn More$49.40 -
MAC Chef Series 2.5-inch Bird’s Beak Paring Knife
A bird’s beak parer, also called a tourné knife, has a blade that curves down toward the tip, and the PK-25 is MAC’s version in the thin Chef Series. Cooks trained in classic French technique use it to turn potatoes and carrots into seven-sided tourné cuts; at home it is the knife for peeling apples, coring strawberries and trimming the eyes from potatoes.The curve follows the shape of round fruit and vegetables, so the edge stays in contact as you rotate the food against your thumb. It is also handy for deveining shrimp and scoring citrus peel. For board work such as slicing shallots, a straight parer like the HB-40 is easier to use. Our guide to kitchen knife shapes describes the paring knife family. Learn More$37.95 -
MAC Original 4-inch Paring Knife
The Mac Original 4-inch Paring Knife was designed with comfort in mind. Use this paring knife when peeling, paring or slicing small fruits and vegetables, and you will find that the up-swept handle fits comfortably into your hand. A hole near the rounded tip makes it easy to hang.The rounded tip is a safety feature of the Original Series, and it makes the knife a good choice for a kitchen with several cooks or for anyone who carries a parer loose in a drawer. It is less suited to jobs that need a point, such as coring tomatoes or scoring; the Chef Series HB-40 has a pointed tip for those.The PK-40 is also part of the 2-piece and 3-piece Original sets. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide covers the paring knife and its variations. Learn More$33.95 -
MAC Professional 3.25-inch Paring Knife
The PKF-30 is the shortest knife in the MAC Professional Series, a 3.25-inch parer with a bolster. The short, pointed blade gives close control for in-hand work such as hulling strawberries, peeling shallots and trimming Brussels sprouts, and the bolster gives the fingers a solid stop.Because the blade is short, the hand sits near the tip, which makes it the right parer for fine, careful cuts: segmenting citrus, removing seeds from chiles and scoring the skin of tomatoes before blanching. For slicing small items on the board, a longer parer such as the Chef Series HB-40 or the 5-inch PKF-50 gives more edge to work with.Compare the parers in the table in the Details, or see our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide.

Mercer Genesis 3.5-inch Paring Knife
The Genesis 3.5-inch Paring Knife handles the small jobs: peeling, coring, deveining shrimp, scoring citrus and trimming garnishes. It is forged, so it has more weight and balance than a stamped parer, and the bolster keeps the fingers from sliding onto the edge.The Santoprene handle grips securely when wet, which matters on a slick apple or a juicy tomato.
Choosing a Paring KnifeFor a riveted handle, see the Renaissance 3.5-inch Paring Knife. The Millennia 3.5-inch Paring Knife is lighter. For peeling round produce, the Genesis 2.5-inch Bird’s Beak Peeler follows the curve. The kitchen knife shapes guide covers paring knives. Learn More$26.55 -
MAC Superior 6.5-inch Santoku
The santoku is the Japanese all-purpose knife: a flat edge for push cuts and chopping, a rounded nose, and a tall blade that keeps the knuckles off the board. The MAC SK-65 is a 6.5-inch santoku in the Superior Series, for cooks who prefer a shorter blade.The MAC Superior Santoku has a thick spine that tapers to a very thin edge, which glides through food with ease. Its large, ergonomically shaped handle feels extremely comfortable in the hand, and a sand-blasted strip runs along the edge of the blade to reduce surface tension and prevent sticking. This knife is a fantastic addition to any collection, and was voted “Favorite Knife” by Food & Wine.It suits cooks who chop more than they rock. Onions, cabbage, carrots and boneless chicken fall to straight down-and-forward cuts, and the height lets you scoop the prep off the board. At 6.5 inches it is shorter than an 8-inch chef’s knife and easier to control on a small board.The Professional MSK-65 adds a bolster and dimples. The SK-65 is paired with a small santoku in the Superior santoku set. Browse the Superior Series, or see our guide to kitchen knife shapes. Learn More$84.95 -
MAC Professional 6.5-inch Santoku with Dimples

The bolster gives a secure pinch grip. It is a good choice for a cook who wants a compact main knife with a little more weight than a plain santoku.For a lighter santoku without a bolster, see the Superior SK-65. The MSK-65 is also part of the MAC 2-piece santoku set. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide compares the santoku with the chef’s knife. Learn More$139.95 -
F. Dick ErgoGrip 8.25-inch Sticking Knife
Known to hunters and hog farmers as a pig sticker, this double-edged ErgoGrip dagger is made for bleeding an animal after it has been stunned. A complete bleed gives whiter meat and less gamey flavor, which matters most on wild boar, deer and elk.The blade narrows to a pronounced point and has a diamond-shaped cross-section with an edge on both sides. That shape delivers the precise, quick vein incision that sticking calls for. The straight, symmetrical handle has a prominent finger guard, and its textured surface stays secure when it is wet and greasy.The 8.25-inch blade gives the reach needed on large hogs and wild boar.Butchers pair a sticking knife with a skinning knife and a gut and tripe knife as the basic slaughter kit. For smaller animals, the single-edged 6-inch and 7-inch ErgoGrip sticking knives are shorter. Store it in a Single Knife Scabbard or the F. Dick Knife Scabbard with Belt. Learn More$53.95 -
