Global Classic 2-Piece Paring and Utility Knife Set

Global Classic 2-Piece Paring and Utility Knife Set

A paring knife and a slightly longer utility knife handle the small work that a chef’s knife does clumsily. This set pairs a 3-inch parer for peeling and coring in the hand with a 4.5-inch utility knife for slicing small fruit, trimming chicken and cutting a single shallot on the board.

The two lengths split the work naturally. The shorter blade stays under the thumb for turning around an apple or hulling strawberries, and the longer one reaches across a lemon or a tomato and slices a sandwich in half.

It complements a chef’s knife such as the Global Classic 8-inch Chef’s Knife or the 6-inch Chef’s Knife. The paring knife is also sold on its own as the Global Classic 3-inch Paring Knife. See our knife shapes guide for how paring and utility knives differ.

Tips for Best Results

Cut with a forward or backward slicing stroke. Chopping straight down onto the board dulls a thin edge faster.
Keep the edge away from bones, frozen food, hard nuts and hard cheese. If the blade catches on something hard, free it with a forward-and-back motion; twisting it sideways can chip or bend the edge.
Cut on wood or plastic. Glass, stone, marble and tile surfaces damage the edge.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse, and dry with a towel right away. Global advises against the dishwasher, since the heat and strong detergents can damage the edge and the steel.
Do not soak the knife or clean it with bleach or chlorine cleansers.
Hone with a ceramic or diamond rod and sharpen on a whetstone at 10 to 15 degrees. Global recommends ceramic or diamond rods over conventional honing steels.
A household stainless steel cleaner removes rust spots left by inadequate drying.
