This is the parer we sell the most of, and it is the plain version on purpose. Same German molybdenum-vanadium steel and the same ice quench past 58 hardness as the rest of our small knives, with an Ergonomic 2.0 grip and no extras to look after. Buy two: one lives in the fruit bowl drawer, the other stays by the cutting board for garlic and shallots.

Anatomy of the tool

Blade

Narrow spine, straight to the point

The blade tapers evenly from spine to tip with no belly to fight, which is what you want when the cut is a push rather than a slice. It tracks under citrus peel and around a seed without wandering.

Edge

Ultra sharp as it ships

We grind these to a working razor finish before boxing, so the first use is the sharpest the knife will ever be. The ice quench is what keeps that first impression around for months of fruit and herbs.

Handle

Grip that holds through wet fruit

Peach juice, melon water, hands straight out of the sink. The Ergonomic 2.0 shape and non-slip texture keep the knife from rotating in the palm, which is the usual way small knives cut their owners.

In Use

Garlic, shallots, strawberry tops

Mince two cloves without reaching for the chef knife. It will peel a vegetable or split a roll as well, but the 3.5-inch blade pays off most on jobs done in the hand, above the board.

From the sharpening bench

Keep it out of the loose knife drawer. A thin point chips against other blades long before it goes dull from cutting.
