SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Mercer Sports Millennia Colors 3" Paring Knife with a red handle is built for precision and reliability, making it a must-have tool for any serious kitchen. Whether you’re peeling, trimming, or slicing small ingredients, this knife delivers sharp performance and steady control in every cut. Compact yet powerful, it’s designed to excel at the fine detail work that larger knives can’t handle, while maintaining the durability and toughness professional kitchens require.
Forged from one-piece high-carbon Japanese steel, the blade is engineered for strength, sharpness, and easy maintenance. Its steel composition allows for rapid sharpening and dependable edge retention, ensuring it’s always razor sharp when you need it most. With a blade angle of 15° and a Rockwell hardness rating of 53-54, this knife achieves the right balance between edge durability and cutting precision. The stamped construction keeps it lightweight and maneuverable, making it effortless to handle during delicate cutting tasks.
The handle is designed with both comfort and safety in mind. Built from Santoprene® and polypropylene, it offers a durable yet ergonomic grip that stands up to daily use. Raised Santoprene® texture enhances traction for greater control, while textured finger points improve slip resistance, even in fast-paced or wet environments. A protective finger guard adds an extra layer of safety, keeping your hand secure during demanding tasks. The bold red handle isn’t just eye-catching—it also makes identification quick and easy, particularly useful in kitchens where color-coded knives are part of food safety practices. Certified by NSF, this knife meets professional standards for quality, sanitation, and performance.
To keep the knife performing at its best, proper care is essential. Always handwash with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly with a soft towel. Avoid dishwashers, as high heat, harsh detergents, and friction can dull or damage both the blade and handle. Prolonged soaking and exposure to chlorine or bleach should also be avoided, as they can cause pitting or discoloration. For safe storage and long-term protection, keep the knife in a sheath or cutlery block to preserve the cutting edge and prevent accidents.
Rugged, sharp, and thoughtfully designed, the Mercer Sports Millennia Colors 3" Paring Knife with a red handle is the dependable tool every kitchen deserves for precise, everyday cutting tasks. Shop this bold bright red handle for your kitchen knife at SMKW!
