With increased maneuverability and dexterity, you'll find endless opportunities to utilize this nimble knife. The smooth, uniform cuts will help you make every meal a work of art.

A versatile paring knife is an essential tool in every kitchen. Like the chef's knife, a paring knife is meant to be used for a wide array of jobs; however, the first and foremost function of a paring knife is detail work and greater control. Its slightly curved blade and pointed tip even resemble a chef's knife, but, is a fraction of the size, which makes it great for small, precision cuts where control is essential. The pointed tip allows you to make intricate cuts or check the tenderness of meat and vegetables.

The Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Classic collection offers a contemporary handle, inspired by their patented Fibrox Pro line. Designed to minimize hand and wrist tension while providing a secure grip, the contoured nylon handle is both lightweight and durable, making these knives seem less like tools and more like an extension of your hand.

Expertly crafted in Switzerland since 1884, Victorinox offers a lifetime guarantee against defects in material and workmanship. Formerly known as Forschner, Victorinox began selling cutlery in America through a Connecticut distributor in 1937. Today, Victorinox Swiss Army still sells a handful of accessories, including the High Heat Turner line, under the Forschner name.

To ensure the longest life of your knife, Victorinox Swiss Army recommends hand washing and honing after every couple of uses. Proper and frequent use of a honing steel will keep your knives sharper and performing at their best, while sharpening is necessary after significant use when the steel particles become damaged.

Whether a seasoned or novice home chef, Victorinox Swiss Army offers not only the right tools and the know-how, but most importantly, the confidence to achieve one's culinary aspirations. From its humble beginnings in 1884 in Ibach, Switzerland, Victorinox has become a worldwide icon, still owned and operated by the Elsener family.
