Paring Knives
Smooth or serrated, by definition a paring knife is used in hand and up off of the cutting board. Paring knives come in three basic shapes, although the names of these shapes may vary by distributer. Ranging from 3 to 4.5 inches in length, spear point parers can be identified by the shape of their blade the spine and tip of which meet in the immediate center of the knife. Spear points are the most common style of paring knife manufactured. The second style is known as a sheepsfoot parer although this shape is sometime referred to as kudamono. The straight edged spine of a sheepsfoot parer is distinct in that it rounds down to meet the dead flat edge of the knife. The last shape of paring knife available is known as a birds beak peeler or parer. This hook shaped blade is ideal for specialized tasks like fluting mushroom caps and is the perfect tool for executing the French seven sided cut known as tourné.

Global Classic GS-38 Paring Knife - 3.5" (90mm)
Surgical Precision for Intricate Kitchen Tasks The Global GS-38 3.5 inch Paring Knife is not just a utility tool; it is a high-performance instrument designed for chefs who demand agility and a lasting edge. Forged from Global’s proprietary Cromova 18 stainless steel—a blend of Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium—this knife is ice-tempered and hardened to Rockwell 56-58. This specific metallurgical balance allows the blade to maintain a razor-sharp 15-degree edge while remaining resistant to the staining and chipping often seen in higher-carbon Japanese steels. What sets the Global Classic series apart is its signature hollow handle, filled with a precise amount of sand to create a perfect counterbalance to the blade. Unlike traditional western knives with heavy bolsters and wooden scales, the GS-38 feels like an extension of the hand. This weight-forward balance is critical when performing 'in-hand' tasks like turning artichokes, fluting mushrooms, or hulling strawberries, where a heavy handle would cause unnecessary wrist fatigue during long shifts. The seamless construction is a primary hygiene signal for professional environments. With no tang gaps or rivets to harbor food particles, the GS-38 is easily sanitized. The dimpled 'golf ball' grip provides a slip-resistant surface, ensuring the knife stays secure even when working with wet produce or oily proteins. Whether you are deveining shrimp or executing fine brunoise shallots, the GS-38 offers the tactile feedback required for elite-level prep. Learn More -
