Paring knives are some of the smallest models used in the kitchen meant to be more maneuverable compared to other knives. With a sturdy blade, they are typically light weight and well formed to fit into the palm of your hand which provides precision for delicate jobs. Paring means to cut away the outer surface or to remove the ends from a fruit or vegetable. While using a peeler could work, imagine yourself removing the outer layer of an onion without wasting good parts. Many will also use the paring knife to cut cheese and to peel and devein shrimps.
