Product description

When it comes to precision and accuracy, the paring knife is every chef's answer. This 4" Swiss Classic Paring Knife with Spear Point is extremely sharp and ready for anything from slicing and dicing to peeling and garnishing. The smooth, uniform cuts will help you make every meal a work of art. With the 4" Swiss Classic Paring Knife you can expertly remove pepper seeds, core an apple, trim beans, and devein shrimp with ease.



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 4" blade length, slightly longer than the standard 3 1/4" parer, offers additional strength when slicing and dicing fruits and vegetables. The pointed tip allows you to make intricate cuts or check the tenderness of meat and vegetables. With increased maneuverability and dexterity, you'll find endless opportunities to utilize this nimble knife.



Featuring a world-renowned blade and perfect balance, the 4" Swiss Classic Paring Knife provides a professional-grade tool optimized for home use. The tapered knife edge is ground in two directions to hold a sharp edge longer, and can easily be brought back to its original sharpness.



We’ve selected the best attributes derived from our rich commercial heritage and modified them to suit the home chef. The Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Classic collection offers a contemporary handle, inspired by our patented Fibrox Pro line. Designed to minimize wrist tension while providing a secure grip, the contoured nylon handle is both lightweight and durable, making these knives seem less likes tools and more like an extension of your hand.



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. Expertly crafted in Switzerland since 1884, Victorinox offers a lifetime guarantee against defects in material and workmanship.



Formerly Forschner

In 1937 Victorinox began selling cutlery in America through a Connecticut distributor called R.H. Forschner & Co. A well-known manufacturer of butcher scales, Forschner soon became the exclusive U.S. distributor for Victorinox knives, and was the name by which Victorinox knives were known.



In 2011 Victorinox began marketing all its product lines, including kitchen knives, under the common umbrella name by which the company is now popularly known – Victorinox Swiss Army.



Care and Use

Be good to your knives and they’ll be good to you. Following these simple guidelines will ensure that you get the longest life out of your knife!



Hand Washing

Victorinox Swiss Army recommends washing all knives by hand. For best results, hand wash your knives with a soapy cloth and dry immediately.



Dishwasher

While Swiss Classic knives are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing as dishwashers are designed to spray water at a relatively high pressure, which can jostle the silverware and cause the knives to collide, dulling the edge.



Maintaining your Knife’s Edge

For optimum performance, knives should be honed after every couple of uses. Proper and frequent use of a honing steel will keep your knives sharper and performing at their best, but remember that a honing steel will not sharpen a dull knife. Honing steels are maintenance tools and are used to help keep an already sharp blade from degrading. During use, a knife edge becomes rolled or turned from direct contact with cutting boards, bones or other hard objects. In this case, honing is necessary to straighten the edge of the knife. After significant use, the steel particles become damaged and the edge cannot be brought back by honing, so sharpening is necessary. If your knives are dull, pitted, or you see visible nicks on the cutting edge, you’ll need to sharpen with a Swiss Sharp Handheld Sharpener (49002) or bring to a professional for re-sharpening.



History and Heritage

In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers’ union he formed produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and in 1897 with the Officer’s Knife. In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent of stainless steel, then known as “inoxydable” and used in the production of his cutlery, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born.



Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland."

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this knife full tang
Answer:	The handles on these small Victorinox paring knives are either Polypropylene or Polyethylene. But don't sweat it, they are very durable and dishwasher safe. I have one of these with a white handle and it has lasted for at least 15 years, with weekly touchups on a diamond honing rod, and there is no visible wear at all. Victorinox cooking knives last a lifetime, and stay sharp longer than any other chef knives I've ever tried.
Question:	Does it come with a sheath
Answer:	Yes, I easily sharpen mine at home with a diamond sharpener. Using 4 different grits ---200, 300, 400, 600, I can quickly & easily get it razor sharp. So sharp it will cut just by touching it. I use a steel for touch ups in between. I've used it daily for the past 9 years and it still looks and performs perfectly. Since it is so small and I use it all the time I hand wash it. Just need to be careful not to cut up the sponge/dishcloth. It holds it edge well but like I mentioned it is a daily workhorse in my kitchen so in order to keep it super sharp I give it a quick touch up sharpening weekly. If you don't care if your knives are razor sharp or don't use it daily, sharpening once every month or 2 would probably be adequate.
Question:	The description says this knife comes with a fibrox handle, but the picture doesn't seem to show this. What kind of handle does it have
Answer:	Steak knives are serrated
Question:	Can you sharpen this knife
Answer:	The handles are not made of wood. Not sure what the what they aremade of. I have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of these knivessince purchasing them. I would highly recommend this set.
