Precision Engineering for the Professional Kitchen The Dexter V-Lo 3.5-inch Scalloped Paring Knife (V105SC-PCP) is not just another utility tool; it is a specialized instrument designed for precision and safety in high-pressure culinary environments. In a professional kitchen, paring knives are the workhorses of the prep station, and the V-Lo series elevates this humble tool to a new standard of performance. The scalloped edge is specifically engineered to bite into tough, slippery skins—like those found on peppers, tomatoes, or citrus fruits—without crushing the delicate flesh beneath. Proprietary DEXSTEEL® Performance At the heart of this knife is Dexter-Russell's proprietary American DEXSTEEL®. This high-carbon, high-alloy stainless steel undergoes a rigorous heat-treatment and cooling process to optimize its grain structure. For the chef, this means a blade that achieves a surgical level of sharpness while maintaining the durability needed for repetitive commercial use. The scalloped edge stays sharp longer than traditional straight edges, reducing maintenance frequency and ensuring consistent results slice after slice. Safety and Ergonomics with V-Lo Technology Fatigue and slippage are the primary causes of kitchen injuries. The V-Lo handle solves both issues with its dual-material construction. The textured soft-grip exterior provides a 'tacky' feel that remains secure even when hands are wet or covered in oils. Beneath the surface, a rigid core provides the structural integrity needed for precise movements. With an integrated finger guard and a design that mimics the natural contours of the hand, this knife offers unmatched comfort for all-day prep work. Proudly manufactured in the USA, it carries the NSF certification, guaranteeing it meets the highest standards for public health and sanitation. Learn More

The Dexter SofGrip 3.5-inch paring knife (SG105PCP) is not a decorative kitchen piece; it is a specialized tool for professional prep stations. When handling dozens of cases of citrus or cleaning flat flats of strawberries, the primary failure point is hand fatigue and grip slip. The SofGrip handle solves this using a proprietary soft rubberized coating over a polypropylene core. In hands-on testing, the handle maintains high friction even when coated in protein fats or vegetable moisture, providing a level of security that hard plastic handles cannot match. The 3.5-inch blade is forged from DEXSTEEL™—a high-carbon, high-alloy stainless steel specifically engineered for the food service industry. Unlike brittle high-hardness Japanese steels, DEXSTEEL is tempered to a resilient HRC 54-56. This allows the edge to take a beating against cutting boards and stainless steel tables without chipping, while remaining soft enough to be brought back to a razor-sharp state in seconds using a standard ceramic honing rod. The blade geometry features a precision-ground edge that facilitates 'in-hand' work, such as tournéing vegetables or de-veining shrimp, with surgical accuracy. This is the definitive tool for culinary students and executive chefs who prioritize sanitary compliance, ergonomic safety, and repeatable performance. Learn More
