A small paring knife often does more daily work than a large chef's knife. Victorinox offers straight and serrated small blades, and each edge has a different strength.
Straight-edge paring knives
A straight edge gives precise contact for controlled cuts, trimming and detailed preparation. The Victorinox 8cm Paring Knife is a compact everyday option.
Serrated and wavy-edge paring knives
A serrated or wavy edge is useful where a smooth blade may slide on a soft or delicate exterior. Victorinox also sells two-piece sets combining straight and wavy blades, such as the 10cm Blue Paring Knife Set.
Paring knives for hotels and restaurants
Hotels, restaurants, cafés and catering kitchens often perform high volumes of trimming, garnish work, fruit and vegetable preparation and other detailed tasks. Keeping suitable paring knives at individual prep stations can reduce unnecessary reliance on larger chef's knives. Hospitality buyers can combine straight and wavy-edge options according to menu requirements, and Red Rhino welcomes bulk Victorinox enquiries in Kenya.
Do you need both?
For a well-equipped kitchen, yes: the two edge styles complement rather than duplicate one another. Pair them with an all-purpose chef's knife from our Victorinox chef's knife guide.
