The paring knife is a common and useful knife and probably used more often than any other knife in the preparation of food in your kitchen. It is a small knife usually with a plain edged blade. The blade is usually 2 1/2 - 4 inches in length and is ideal for peeling vegetables and fruit. It is also used by some for deveining shrimp, removing seeds from peppers of various sorts, and cutting garnishes. It’s more or less an all purpose knife for your varied kitchen tasks.
