Paring Knife with a Reverse-Curved Stainless Steel Blade for Peeling Small Fruit and Detailed Garnishes
This paring knife brings a compact, reverse-curved blade to peeling small fruit and shaping detailed garnishes. Its 2⅜-inch blade suits close work on strawberries and apricots, while the curved shape accommodates forward or backward cutting motions.
Rada makes the blade from T420 high-carbon stainless steel, hollow grounds the edge and sharpens it by hand. Both handle versions have a built-in finger guard. The silver version pairs cast aluminum with a satin finish; the black version uses molded resin.
Use it to peel apples for pies, slice strawberries for fruit pizza or shape radish and citrus garnishes. Hand wash either handle version to care for the cutting edge and handle.
