SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cangshan Essentials 3.25in Serrated Paring Kitchen Knife is engineered for cooks who demand precision, control, and versatility in a compact, high-performance tool. Developed by Cangshan’s sister brand, New Star Foodservice, the Essentials Series delivers professional-grade performance for commercial kitchens while remaining an accessible, durable option for home cooks. This paring knife is ideal for detailed prep tasks, from slicing small fruits and vegetables to trimming, peeling, or segmenting delicate ingredients with confidence and accuracy.
The 3.25-inch blade is crafted from high-alloy X50CrMoV15 German stainless steel, known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to maintain a sharp edge under repeated use. Each blade is meticulously heat-treated and hand-sharpened to a 58 Rockwell hardness rating, providing long-lasting durability and reliable cutting performance. The serrated edge allows for clean, controlled slicing of soft or slippery foods that can challenge straight-edged paring knives. From tomatoes and citrus to small rolls or cooked meats, this paring knife delivers precision without crushing or tearing delicate ingredients.
The short blade length offers maximum control for detailed work, allowing cooks to maneuver around cores, seeds, and bones with ease. Its serrated design grips food securely, producing smooth, effortless cuts while minimizing hand fatigue during repetitive prep. This makes it ideal for professional kitchens where accuracy and efficiency are essential, as well as for home cooks who want consistent results in everyday cooking tasks.
The black food-grade polymer handle is ergonomically designed for comfort, security, and extended use. Subtle contouring fits naturally in the hand, while the non-slip surface ensures a firm grip even when hands are wet or greasy. Engineered for prolonged commercial use, the handle delivers a durable, stable feel without being rigid, supporting precision and control through every task.
Every aspect of the Cangshan Essentials 3.25in Serrated Paring Knife reflects a focus on performance and practicality. It holds its edge, performs consistently, and simplifies intricate prep work, making it a dependable tool for professional and home kitchens alike. For cooks who need a compact, precise, and versatile paring knife, this serrated model provides clean, controlled results every time.
