Why Chefs Trust It

The Dalstrong Gladiator Series paring knife is a master of precision, with a small narrow blade that tapers to a point. It is as essential to any professional and home cook as the chef’s knife and nearly just as versatile. This paring knife is great for coring, mincing, and peeling fruits and vegetables; slicing shallots, herbs, or a clove of garlic; detailed, controlled cutting, such as cutting shapes or vents into the dough; and scoring patterns and designs on surfaces of food

This is a fabulous

"This is a fabulous ""potato peeler"" knife. Small herbs, etc. Fits nicely in the hand. Yes, not glamorous or high dollar. Just an ""everyday"" reliable, get-stuff-done tool. Re-sharpen as needed. Yes; I own MANY ""high dollar"" knives. THIS one just works. . You will reach for it. Well-made and solid. Good price point. Balanced. Your favorite ""beater"" knife. Thanks, Dalstrong!!"
