SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Mercer Sports Millennia Colors 3" Paring Knife with a purple handle is a compact, reliable tool built for precision and control in the kitchen. Whether you’re peeling fruit, trimming vegetables, or preparing garnishes, this knife is designed to handle the fine details that make a difference in meal preparation. Rugged enough for professional use yet comfortable for everyday cooking, it offers the performance and durability serious cooks demand.
The blade is crafted from a single piece of high-carbon Japanese steel, engineered for strength, sharpness, and long-term reliability. This steel allows for easy edge maintenance and quick sharpening, ensuring the knife maintains a razor-sharp edge cut after cut. At 3 inches in length, the blade is perfectly sized for detail work, and its 15° cutting angle delivers precision with every slice. With an HRC rating of 53-54, the steel provides a balance of toughness and sharpness, allowing for consistent performance without being overly brittle. Stamped construction keeps the knife lightweight and agile, making it easy to maneuver during delicate cutting tasks.
The ergonomic handle is built from a combination of Santoprene® and polypropylene, offering both comfort and resilience. Raised Santoprene® texturing enhances grip, even in wet conditions, while textured finger points provide slip resistance and added safety. A protective finger guard helps shield your hand from accidental slips, giving you confidence during extended use. The purple handle not only brings a bold touch of color to your kitchen tools but also makes identification simple, especially in kitchens that use color coding for food safety. NSF certification ensures this knife meets rigorous professional standards, making it equally dependable in both commercial and home kitchens.
To maintain peak performance, it’s important to care for this knife properly. Handwashing with warm water and mild soap, followed by immediate drying, will preserve the blade and handle. Dishwashers, harsh detergents, and soaking should be avoided, as they can cause dulling, discoloration, or deterioration. Contact with chlorine or bleach can damage the steel and should be rinsed off immediately if exposure occurs. For safety and to protect the edge, store the knife in a sheath or cutlery block.
Durable, sharp, and thoughtfully designed, the Mercer Sports Millennia Colors 3" Paring Knife with a purple handle is a versatile addition to any kitchen, built for those who value performance and precision. Shop this purple colored handle Paring Knife at SMKW!
