About the knife type: Paring (paring knife)
A paring knife is a small, handy knife for a range of smaller kitchen tasks. It usually has a narrow, pointed blade about 7-10 centimetres long. The paring knife suits peeling, trimming, scoring and cutting small fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Paring knives come in different styles and shapes, but most have a fairly straight blade that makes the cutting movement easy to control. Some paring knives have a curved edge, which makes it easier to peel round shapes such as fruit and vegetables (tourné knife).
This type of knife is useful for detailed work that needs precision and a steady hand. Whether you are removing seeds from a chilli, peeling a potato or making decorative cuts in a lemon slice, the paring knife makes small jobs easier.
Care and maintenance
Carbon steel: rinse and dry the knife right after use. A little dark patina is normal and protects the steel.
Never the dishwasher. Use a cutting board of wood or plastic, not glass or stone.
