Dexter-Russell Basics 2.75-inch Clip-Point Paring Knife

The Basics P40003 is Dexter-Russell’s entry-level parer, a 2.75-inch clip-point knife simple enough to keep in a catering kit, a lunch box or a drawer of spares. Dexter notes that the clip point pierces foods with tough exteriors, and the short blade handles small prep such as cutting cheese and slicing fruit. Its small size suits intricate tasks such as coring strawberries, deveining shrimp and removing blemishes from delicate produce.
