Paring / Utility

Paring knives, also known as petty or utility knives, are nimble blades designed for the smaller jobs around the kitchen. These knives' shorter height allows for twisting while cutting as in the case of cleaning a bell pepper, or working in the hand. These are the best Japanese knives for lighter work and small tasks, you'll be surprised how often you reach for one.
