This display contains 24 of the 3.25" Classic Paring Knives with a Straight Edge and Spear Point (Victorinox Item Number 40807 / 47807).

This Victorinox (formerly Forschner*) 3 1/4 inch Paring Knife features a Polypropylene NSF approved handle. Crevices that would offer hospitality to bacteria are minimized. As with all R.H. Forschner knives, the handle is ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension and provides a natural fit.

Forschner knives all have high carbon, stainless steel blades that are hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. Each knife is stamped from a single sheet of metal. The blade is then hardened, tempered, ground, polished, etched and finished. Victorinox uses a special tempering process to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again.

The sheep's foot paring knife, with its straight edge, is ideal for slicing vegetables such as carrots and zucchini.
