Dexter-Russell 360 Paring Knife

No, this is a precision tool. With its 3½-inch blade and lightweight stamped construction, it is designed specifically for detailed work like peeling, trimming, and intricate cuts rather than heavy chopping or breaking down large ingredients.

NSF certification indicates that the knife meets rigorous standards for safety, sanitation, and material quality. While it is a requirement for commercial kitchens, it provides home cooks with the assurance that the materials are food-safe and the design is easy to clean and sanitize.

The handle is a blend of polypropylene and Santoprene, which creates a soft, rubberized texture. This provides a secure, non-slip grip that remains comfortable even when your hands are wet or you are performing repetitive tasks.

Yes, this knife is fully dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the edge sharpness and longevity of the high-carbon steel blade over time, hand washing is generally recommended.

The spear point tip is centered with the blade, offering excellent control for piercing and detailed work. It is particularly effective for tasks like hulling strawberries, deveining shrimp, or removing blemishes from produce.
