3.25" Swiss Classic Paring Knife

Small knife, does most of the real work. Peeling shallots, turning artichokes, trimming silverskin off a tenderloin, checking if the potatoes are done. The 3.25” blade is short enough to control with your thumb against the spine, and the handle is molded so it stays put even when your hands are wet from prep. Victorinox grinds these thin, so the edge cuts rather than wedges through soft produce. Nothing fancy about the steel, but it takes an edge fast on a stone and holds it through a shift. This lives in the small-tools drawer, not the knife roll, and gets used more than the knife roll does.
