From turning a watermelon into a rose or a squash into a bird, being one of the best fruits and vegetables carvers requires the best tools. To do something like this, I need a sharp knife that allows me to make really controlled cuts. It's why I use the Dexter paring knife. It's a staple in my kitchen and the ideal tool for cutting fruits and vegetables. As a professional, you depend on your knife being sharp, and with the Dexter paring knife, you'll always be sharp in the kitchen! Dexter paring knives are designed and built for you and me; they're for people who make a living in the kitchen. In here, performance, comfort, and durability matter most and these knives deliver because of the Dexter Edge. The Dexter paring knife is tough and our exclusive Dex-steel enhances sharpness, performance, and corrosion resistance. Dexter knives are sharp out of the box and stay sharp. They're also easy to resharpen after significant use. The paring knife is the ideal tool for peeling, trimming, slicing, and garnishing. It comes in several styles, the most common being cook style, sharp point, clip point, and scalloped edge. With a cook style or sharp point paring knife, you can slice pepper rings, sliver olives, or cut cherries. The sharp point knife can be used to remove corn from the cob, break up heads of lettuce, or peel fruits and vegetables. The clip point can handle eyeing potatoes, peeling, and pitting. The scalloped edge paring knives are particularly efficient on items with a crust, skin, or rind, and fibrous foods like cabbage or celery. In any style or edge, Dexter's superior edge geometry cuts better and allows for easy resharpening. A Dexter paring knife fits nicely into the palm of your hand and you can choose from a variety of handles like the popular Sani-Safe, V-Lo, Duo-Glide, and Sof-Grip options.
