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

Victorinox steel at this hardness takes a fine edge quickly and responds well to honing. A few light strokes on a honing steel during a work session keep the edge aligned; sharpen on a stone or a guided sharpener when honing no longer brings it back. Our Honing Rod Guide compares regular, fine and polishing cuts, and the Victorinox 12-inch fine cut honing steel suits these blades.

Care

• The Swiss Classic handle will not be harmed by a dishwasher, though washing by hand and drying at once keeps the edge from knocking against other items.
• 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.
