Overview
This is a 4 inch straight edge paring knife from Victorinox's Swiss Classic line, with a textured, non-slip handle suited to precision tasks like peeling and trimming.
Victorinox positions this as a small precision blade rather than a general chopper, and it carries NSF approval, which points to commercial-kitchen-grade build even though it is sold for home use. The handle texture is specifically called out as grippy when wet, a common failure point on cheaper paring knives.
- 4 inch straight edge blade
- Textured, non-slip handle
- Dishwasher safe
- NSF approved
Who it's for
Cooks who want a small, controllable blade for peeling, trimming and garnish work alongside a larger chef's knife.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Textured handle stays grippy even when wet

Performance notes
The 4 inch straight edge and weighted balance are built for close-in control on small cuts, and the contoured, textured handle is designed to hold its grip even when hands or the handle are wet.
