Victorinox Swiss Classic 3.25-inch Serrated Sheep’s Foot Paring Knife, Red Handle

A sheep’s foot blade has a flat edge and a spine that curves down to meet it, so there is no sharp point. The whole edge meets the board at once, which makes this knife quick at trimming and slicing produce, and the rounded end makes it comfortable for peeling toward your thumb. Cooks also call the shape a vegetable knife or a kudamono knife.

The wavy edge grips the skins of chilies and tomatoes without slipping, and it holds up to work in the garden as well as the kitchen. Trade buyers and home cooks order this knife in about equal numbers.


Serrated or Straight Edge?

The Victorinox Swiss Classic 3.25-inch Sheep's Foot Paring Knife, Red Handle has the same shape with a plain edge, which gives cleaner slices on firm vegetables and can be honed like any straight blade. For a pointed tip and the same serrated edge, choose the Victorinox Swiss Classic 3.25-inch Serrated Paring Knife, Red Handle.
