Overview
A 3.25 inch straight-edge spear point paring knife from Victorinox's Swiss Classic line, with a black ergonomic non-slip handle and an NSF-approved, dishwasher-safe blade.
This is a small, single-purpose blade rather than a chef's knife, sized for trimming and peeling rather than slicing or chopping. The textured, non-slip handle is built for a grip that holds even wet, which matters more on a paring knife than most, since it is usually held one-handed while the other hand steadies the food. NSF approval points to commercial food-service sanitation standards, not just a home-kitchen dishwasher-safe claim.
- 3.25 inch straight edge blade
- Spear point tip
- Black ergonomic non-slip handle
- NSF approved, dishwasher safe
Who it's for
Fits anyone who wants a dedicated small blade for peeling, trimming, and precision cuts alongside a larger chef's knife. Not a replacement for a chef's knife or a bread knife, since the 3.25 inch blade is sized for close, detailed work only.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Non-slip grip holds even when wet
- NSF approved for food-service hygiene
- Dishwasher safe for easy care
- 3.25 inch blade limits it to detail work
Performance notes
The straight edge and spear point suit controlled, close-in cuts like peeling and trimming rather than rocking or slicing motions. The textured handle is designed to keep its grip when wet, addressing the specific risk of a small, one-handed knife slipping during food prep. NSF approval and dishwasher-safe construction point to commercial-kitchen-grade hygiene standards behind the design.
