Kitchen Devils Paring Knife 15 Year Guarantee

The Kitchen Devils Paring Knife is a small, precise blade from the Control range, built for the close detail work a larger cook's knife is too clumsy for. It has an ergonomic handle with a large finger stop and soft-grip sections for a secure hold, and an ultrasharp taper ground blade made from Japanese steel. It is dishwasher safe and carries a 15 year guarantee.

What this knife is best for

A paring knife is the one most kitchens reach for when a job needs precision rather than power. Use this one for:

• Peeling apples, potatoes and other fruit and veg
• Hulling strawberries and deveining prawns
• Trimming, coring and de-seeding small fruit and vegetables
• Any close, in-hand cutting where a full-size knife is too large to control safely

For everyday slicing jobs that need a slightly bigger blade, pair it with the Kitchen Devils Multi Purpose Knife, 15 year guarantee, which shares the same Control range handle. If you mainly use a paring knife for peeling, our Kitchen Devils Peeler/Paring Knife combines a peeler with a paring blade in one tool.

How to use and care for it

1. Hold the knife with your thumb close to the blade for control, and always cut away from your hand and fingers.
2. Use a wooden or plastic board for any cutting done on a surface rather than in hand.
3. Rinse and dry the blade promptly after cutting acidic foods such as lemons or tomatoes.
4. Dishwasher safe, but hand washing and drying straight after use will help keep the edge sharper for longer.
5. Store it in a block, on a magnetic rail or in a knife guard, as its small size makes it easy to lose or catch on other cutlery in a drawer.

Frequently asked questions

What size is the Kitchen Devils Paring Knife blade?

The blade is approximately 7cm long, sized for close, precise work such as peeling and trimming rather than general chopping.

What is the difference between the Kitchen Devils Paring Knife and the Peeler/Paring Knife?

This paring knife is a straight blade only. Our Kitchen Devils Peeler/Paring Knife combines a vegetable peeler with a paring blade in one handle, which suits anyone who wants both tools without reaching for two separate items.

Is the Kitchen Devils Paring Knife included in the Control Starter Set?

Yes. This exact paring knife is one of the three knives in the Kitchen Devils Control Starter Set, alongside a multi purpose knife and a small cook's knife.

Can the Kitchen Devils Paring Knife be used for peeling potatoes and apples?

Yes, peeling is one of its main jobs. The short blade and ergonomic handle give good control for peeling in hand, which is safer and often quicker than peeling on a board for small items.

Is the Kitchen Devils Paring Knife dishwasher safe?

Yes, it is dishwasher safe. Given its small size, it is worth placing it point-down in the cutlery basket so it does not fall through and rest against the heating element.
