High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Mercer Sports Millennia Colors 3" Paring Knife with a brown handle is a compact, professional-grade tool engineered for precision, safety, and lasting durability. Designed for chefs and home cooks who value efficiency and control, this knife delivers reliable performance for a wide range of detail work, from peeling and trimming to slicing small fruits and vegetables with exacting accuracy.
Crafted from a single piece of high-carbon Japanese steel, the blade combines strength, sharpness, and resilience. Its composition allows for easy edge maintenance and rapid sharpening, ensuring that it’s always ready with a razor-sharp edge. At 3 inches in length, the blade offers excellent maneuverability for fine cutting tasks, while the 15° edge angle delivers sharp, clean cuts every time. With an HRC rating of 53-54, the knife provides a balance of hardness for edge retention and toughness to prevent chipping or brittleness. Lightweight stamped construction adds agility, making it an indispensable tool for intricate prep work.
The handle is built with a dual-material construction of Santoprene® and polypropylene, offering both comfort and long-term resilience. Its raised Santoprene® texture improves grip significantly, while textured finger points provide slip resistance for safer handling in busy or wet kitchen environments. A protective finger guard further enhances safety, reducing the risk of slips or accidents. The brown handle is not only ergonomic but also adds a touch of individuality to your knife collection, standing out from traditional black-handled blades. Certified by NSF, this knife meets the rigorous safety and performance standards required in professional kitchens, giving you confidence in its quality.
To preserve its performance, proper care is essential. Handwashing with warm water and mild soap, followed by thorough drying, is strongly recommended. Dishwashers, harsh detergents, and prolonged soaking can compromise both the handle and blade, leading to dullness, staining, or deterioration. Chlorine and bleach should be avoided entirely, as they can cause pitting and discoloration. For long-term storage, a cutlery block or sheath is the best way to maintain the cutting edge while ensuring safe handling.
Durable, sharp, and thoughtfully designed, the Mercer Sports Millennia Colors 3" Paring Knife in brown is a versatile tool built to handle the precision work that makes a difference in every kitchen. Shop our large selection of Mercer Culinary Knives at SMKW!
