A paring knife is the second most important knife to have in the kitchen. The flat cut paring knife's small narrow blade is easy to handle, making it the perfect knife to trim, slice, and peel small produce such as garlic cloves and herbs. The flat edge provides more contact with the cutting board and precise control.

• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as metal, glass or hardwoods like bamboo.
