FAQs
What can I use a paring knife for?
Everything from peeling and trimming fruit and vegetables to deveining prawns or scoring pastry. It's the knife for all those smaller, precise jobs where control matters.
How is this different from a utility knife?
A paring knife is smaller and more precise, perfect for fine work in your hands or on the board. A utility knife is longer and better for slicing or prepping slightly larger items.
What makes the Crafter series special?
Each knife features a smoked oak handle, brass rivets, and a fully forged steel blade, a combination of old-world craftsmanship and modern performance.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
No, it's best to hand wash. The oak handle and forged steel deserve a little care; it'll reward you with years of reliable service.
- Wash by hand and immediately towel dry.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges or leaving your knife soaking in the sink.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as metal, glass or hardwoods like bamboo.
- Regular honing is essential to keep your knife performing at its best.
- Sharpen as needed using a whetstone, sharpening steel, or hand-held knife sharpener.
- Treat wooden handles periodically using a food-grade mineral oil to polish and restore the wood to its original luster.
