Carl Mertens - COUNTRY - paring knife 12 cm

Paring knives are small, agile and sharp with a slim straight blade. The paring knife is an indispensable, versatile tool and is part of the basic range of every kitchen. It owes its name "office knife" to the word "officer" and not, as is often assumed, to the English word "office". This knife shape was originally developed for the army, giving the knife its name.

APPLICATION

The paring knife is a small all-rounder for peeling, cutting, cleaning and garnishing vegetables and fruit. Onions, herbs and other vegetables can be finely cut with this slim knife. The narrow blade makes it particularly suitable for peeling work, small cutting jobs and decorations. Also ideal for larding meat. With the help of the sharp tip, depressions are created in the meat, into which aromatic herbs, spices and garlic can be filled.
