Being one of the most versatile knives that you can buy, paring knives are a great addition to any professional knife collection. Primarily designed for chopping and slicing smaller fruit or vegetables, the paring knife by Hygiplas features a small 3.5" ultra-strong stainless steel blade which easily cuts through ingredients. The Hygiplas paring knife is designed with an ergonomic nylon brown handle which not only makes extended use comfortable, but it also helps you as part of colour-coding your kitchen, reducing the risk of cross-contamination by only using particular knives for particular food groups. In this case, brown handles typically signify the knife is used for cutting vegetables.
