The Victorinox 3” Shaping Parer Knife is a compact powerhouse designed for precision, control, and finesse in the kitchen. Whether you’re peeling, trimming, shaping fruits and vegetables, or tackling delicate prep work, this knife makes even the smallest cuts feel effortless. Made in Switzerland by Victorinox, Makers of the Original Swiss Army Knife, it embodies the brand’s legendary attention to detail and dedication to performance.
The 3” plain edge blade is crafted from Victorinox’s proprietary stainless steel, a high-quality alloy known for its exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Its compact size and razor-sharp edge make it the perfect tool for detailed work, allowing you to make clean, accurate cuts every time. Whether you're scoring pastry, removing blemishes from produce, or intricately carving garnishes, this blade gives you the accuracy and responsiveness you need.
The curved shape of the blade—often referred to as a bird’s beak or shaping blade—is ideal for peeling round fruits and vegetables or working around contours where a straight blade would struggle. Its finely honed edge glides effortlessly through skin and flesh, giving you complete control without tearing or crushing delicate ingredients.
Supporting this expertly ground blade is a hidden tang construction that adds strength and stability while maintaining a smooth, streamlined profile. At 7.72” overall and weighing just 0.7 ounces, this shaping parer is incredibly lightweight and nimble. You’ll forget it’s in your hand until you realize how much faster and cleaner your prep work has become.
The black handle is made from forged POM (polyoxymethylene), a highly durable and heat-resistant material that offers a sleek, comfortable grip. Ergonomically shaped and seamlessly joined to the blade, the handle gives you a secure, fatigue-free hold even during long prep sessions. It’s dishwasher-safe and built to endure the rigors of professional kitchens while looking right at home in any home cook’s knife block.
Victorinox has long been known for making tools that professionals rely on, and this shaping parer is no exception. It’s a small knife with big capabilities, designed to bring ease and refinement to everyday kitchen tasks. The careful balance of the blade and handle means you get clean cuts without extra pressure, helping you move quickly and accurately through even the most delicate prep work.
