Messermeister Blacksmith 3.5-inch Paring Knife

From peeling apples and hulling strawberries to deveining shrimp and creating garnishes, the 3.5-inch Blacksmith paring knife takes on the small jobs. Messermeister notes that the distinctive Blacksmith finish brings rugged character to even the smallest knife in the line.

The short, thin blade gives fine control in the hand, and its light weight keeps it nimble for detail work. It pairs naturally with the Blacksmith chef’s knife, and its price makes it an easy first step into the series.
