SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Gatco Grand Paring Knife with a teal Zytel handle delivers practical precision and everyday reliability in the kitchen. Built for performance, this compact blade is designed to handle the finer details of food prep—peeling fruit, trimming vegetables, or shaping delicate garnishes—with balance and control. Its clean, straightforward build emphasizes function over flash, giving cooks a lightweight, easy-to-maneuver knife that earns its keep through consistent performance rather than gimmicks.
Measuring 7.15 inches overall, the knife strikes an ideal balance between reach and agility. The 3.25-inch blade is crafted from dependable 420 stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of maintenance. It sharpens quickly, holds a fine edge through repeated use, and resists the staining and dulling that come from regular kitchen work. While it’s not a high-end alloy, 420 stainless remains a solid workhorse material for anyone who values utility and reliability in their tools.
The plain edge delivers smooth, clean cuts—whether you’re slicing citrus segments or removing blemishes from produce—and the tapered profile makes for precise tip control. It’s a knife that rewards steady hands and good technique, though it’s forgiving enough for less experienced cooks. Weighing in at only 1.1 ounces, it’s exceptionally light, reducing fatigue during long prep sessions without compromising control or stability.
Its handle is made from rugged Zytel, a thermoplastic known for its strength, low weight, and resistance to wear. The textured surface provides a sure grip, even when wet, and the teal color adds a pop of personality that stands out in a busy kitchen. Zytel also resists warping and cracking, ensuring the handle holds up under regular use and repeated washing. The handle’s ergonomic shape fits naturally in the hand, encouraging a confident hold during intricate cutting work.
This knife isn’t about flash or luxury—it’s about dependable performance at a fair price. Whether you’re outfitting a starter kitchen or adding a versatile utility blade to your collection, the Gatco Grand Paring Knife delivers where it matters most: sharpness, balance, and comfort. It’s a no-nonsense kitchen essential built to perform task after task with steady precision and lasting durability.
