Dexter Russell Traditional 3.25" Paring Knife

A Legacy of Performance: The Details

• The Legendary Carbon Steel Edge: Forged from high-carbon steel, prized by chefs for its ability to achieve a razor-sharp edge and hold it longer than stainless steel. This is the pinnacle of cutting performance.
• Classic Rosewood Grip: The natural rosewood handle is polished for a comfortable hold and secured with traditional brass rivets, offering a warm, secure grip that improves with age.
• Precision for Detail Work: The 3.25-inch spear point blade is perfectly shaped and sized for ultimate agility, making intricate tasks like coring, peeling, and garnishing feel effortless.
• Made in the USA: Proudly crafted in Massachusetts, this knife is built on a legacy of quality stretching back to 1818.

Essential Carbon Steel Care:

• Wash and Dry Immediately: To prevent rust, this knife must be hand-washed and thoroughly dried immediately after every use.
• Develops a Natural Patina: The blade will change color and develop a dark patina with use, especially after contact with acidic foods. This is a natural, protective layer and a sign of a true carbon steel blade. It will not affect the food's flavor.
• Not Dishwasher Safe: The high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher will damage both the carbon steel blade and the wooden handle.
• Occasional Oiling: A light coat of food-grade mineral oil will help protect the blade and condition the handle.
