Victorinox Swiss Classic 3.25-inch Serrated Paring Knife, Red Handle

Tomato skin, avocado and ripe figs give a straight edge trouble, because the blade slides before it bites. The wavy edge on this Victorinox Swiss Classic paring knife catches the surface at once, and the pointed tip reaches into small work such as deveining shrimp. Off the cutting board, the same edge cuts fishing line and packing tape. Our customers for this knife are split about evenly between trade work and home kitchens.

Victorinox lengthened the handle when it replaced the older 5.0631 model, and the newer handle gives a fuller, more comfortable grip. The serrations keep cutting for a long time between sharpenings.

Pointed, Sheep’s Foot or Straight Edge?

For trimming and peeling produce on a board, the Victorinox Swiss Classic 3.25-inch Serrated Sheep's Foot Paring Knife, Red Handle has a flat edge and no point. If you prefer a plain edge for peeling and fine slicing, the Victorinox Swiss Classic 3.25-inch Spear Point Paring Knife, Red Handle has the same shape without serrations. The same serrated blade also comes with a black handle as the Victorinox 3.25-inch Serrated Paring Knife, Black Handle, and the Victorinox Swiss Classic 4-inch Serrated Paring Knife, Red Handle adds length for larger fruit and vegetables.
