What is a paring knife?
A paring knife is a little all-purpose knife for peeling, shaping and other small or elaborate work like de-veining a shrimp, removing seeds ‘skinning’, scoring or cutting small garnishes.
Cooks and Knives
I like knives; I think every cook does. They are one of the essential pieces for cooking. You can cook with any knife, yes, but a good paring knife makes a difference. If you want to slice something fragile or create a shape, you need right edges.
I usually buy my paring knife in the store, I like to feel the handle and the weight but in this occasion and taking advantage of the miles I have accumulated in business trips bought the best set I have ever had.
I got the set through the Swiss Miles and More program. They run daily deals on high-quality Swiss products, and when I saw the knives kit, I got trapped by the colourful handlers.
Swiss Classic Utility Block
Swiss Brand Victorinox is famous for their swiss knives, but they also have a broad range of other sharp products.
A week after ordering, I got the order at home. I was very excited to try the set, so I opened it immediately. The kit has six pieces:
- Swiss Classic Steak and Pizza Knife, wavy edge, 12 cm: don’t get misled by the fact is a curved edge. The knife can cut anything from steak to bread or pizza.
Swiss Classic Tomato and Table Knife, wavy edge, 11 cm: This is an excellent knife for shaping or cutting very thinly.
Swiss Classic Tomato and Table Knife, wavy edge, 11 cm- Swiss Classic Paring Knife, pointed tip, 10 cm, pink. A good knife for peeling with high mobility and angles.
- Swiss Classic Paring Knife, wavy edge, pointed tip, 8 cm: This is paring with a curved edge, rare to see but still useful. Use it for shaping or cutting hard things like hard fruits like lime, for example.
- Swiss Classic Paring Knife, pointed tip, 8 cm, orange: A classic paring knife with countless applications.
- Universal Peeler, serrated edge, yellow: Despite being a one-point peeler, it is easy to operate. Perhaps a bit big for a small hand like mine.
They all come in a white block with a fluffy yet stuffy material that let you put the knives anywhere.

The Swiss Classic Utility Block is a quality set that can be used by amateur and professional chefs. It has become an indispensable piece in my kitchen.
Warning: The knives are so sharp that the minimal error will cost you a cut. Either buy a cutting glove or be extremely attentive when you use them. I warned you.
These knives cost me a few wounds in my fingers, but I have sworn eternal love to them.
