Victorinox Paring Knives

Spear point parers have a pointed tip for coring and in-hand work; sheep’s foot parers have a straight edge that meets the board along its length. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide explains each shape, and the full range is in our Victorinox paring knives category.

Keeping the Edge

Serrated and wavy edges are not maintained on a honing steel. The points of the serrations carry the cut, so the knife keeps its bite for a long time; when it finally dulls, have it sharpened on equipment made for serrations.

Care

• Hand wash only. Wash with warm, soapy water and dry at once; do not soak the wood handle or put it in a dishwasher.
• Cut on wood or soft composite boards rather than glass, stone or ceramic.
• Store in a block, on a magnetic strip or in a sleeve such as the Victorinox Knife Safe for 2.5-inch to 4-inch Knives, not loose in a drawer. For carrying a 3.25-inch parer, the Victorinox nylon paring knife pouch fits it.
