Without a tall finger guard at the heel, your old paring knife knife was dangerous. That's why we reimagined what a paring knife could be. Precision work demands you be further up on the blade, so we made a 1.1" tall heel that lets you move further up the blade for control and comfort, while eliminating the risk of cutting yourself.
The most standard grip for in-hand peeling work with a paring knife is to wrap your middle, ring, and pinky fingers around the handle with your dominant hand. Your index finger should be on the spine of the blade close to the tip. Your thumb should be on the item you are peeling. For on-board cutting, your index finger should be on the spine of the knife with your thumb on the side of the blade. In all cases, your support hand should be holding the food item, either in-hand, or on the cutting board.
It’s best to sharpen your knife before it goes dull. Paring knives do not typically process foods in a way that dulls the knife quickly. We do not suggest honing the knife. Instead, we recommend sharpening on whetstones or a quality electric sharpener at the same time as your more heavily used knives, like your chef’s knife.
There is no “best”, but the easiest to use are Shapton Glass Stones because they are the best metal eaters. They’re also splash-and-go, so you won’t need to soak them. The second best option is DMT Diamond Stones. You can also use standard whetstones, but it will take a bit longer to re-sharpen. If you take this route, you’ll want a 220 grit stone to quickly remove metal. It is also useful to do a final burr removal via a leather strop.
Whetstones are a great option. We recommend Murray Carter’s Blade Sharpening Fundamentals, available on Youtube. In terms of electrical sharpeners, we like the WorkSharp Elite Knife Sharpening Solution as it’s not as aggressive a metal eater as the Chef’s Choice Trizor. We would recommend avoiding all non-electric hand-held pull-through systems as they will ruin your edge.
Of course! Simply mail your knife to our shop in Idaho. You can ship it back to us with a return label (we can help with this). Shipping with a USPS Priority envelope or a small shipping box are both great options. For $20, we will completely refresh your blade for you. The Artisan Revere Knife Spa treatment includes: a handle refresh, an edge refresh, and a sheath (if applicable) refresh. You will get your knife back in 100% like-new condition. Important: Please make sure you are shipping your knife SAFELY. It should either be in its original sheath or in a slip cover that will not fall off. Never ship an unsheathed knife.
Firstly, it's totally okay to have a bit of patina - it will not affect your knife or the taste of your food. While minor patina on our knives is rare, it can develop if you don’t wash and dry your knife soon after processing food. Citrus, such as lemons, limes, and oranges, are particularly harsh on steels. Our favorite product for patina removal is called Shadazzle. Buy it for $10 on Amazon. Note: Elmax is stainless, but there are different degrees of corrosion resistance. Cheaper knives have much less carbon, and often their free chromium to carbon ratio is higher, making them even more resistant to corrosion than Elmax.
Knife orders typically ship by 3pm ET one business day after you place your order. During holiday periods, this can sometimes extend out an extra day or two.
Yes. However, every country is different in how it collects VAT/duties. Because we ship internationally via UPS and DHL, we are unable to charge you for VAT in advance. If you place an order for an overseas shipment, we will contact you with an estimate for VAT and will do a separate transaction for that amount.
- Hand wash & dry right after use—never use the dishwasher.
- Avoid bones, frozen food, and ceramic plates—they can chip your blade.
- Cut on end-grain wooden or plastic cutting boards only.
- Use the knife’s spine for food collection, not the knife’s edge.
- Use food-grade mineral oil on the handle & blade regularly.
- Hone daily with ceramic honing rods—avoid steel rods.
- Sharpen on whetstones or a belt grinder regularly.
- Store on a magnet or in a leather sheath—no knife blocks.

Paring Knife Specifications
Weight:65g +/- 2g
PRECISE DISTAL TAPER
Knives are precision ground thinner towards the tip to ensure surgical tip work while maintaining a strong point.
PRECISION GROUND TIP
"Coring a tomato feels like using a scalpel, the tip extracting the stem end with precision." -Men's Health
EXTREME PRECISION CUTS
Our expertly ground 15° edge bevel is just 3 human hairs thick. That's why, "peeling an apple is surgical, the skin lifting from the surface flesh of the fruit." -Men's Health
KNOW YOUR STEEL
Elmax® powder steel costs 30x more than typical German knife steel. Without it, we couldn't grind as thin and create the kind of precision we do.
ROUNDED AND SOFTENED CHOIL
Your knife shouldn't hurt you or cause discomfort. That's why we softened the choils — to maximize your comfort.
ROUNDED AND SOFTENED SPINE
Kitchens get hot and uncomfortable. Your knife shouldn't. We can't stand rough edges and think you shouldn't have to either.
"LIKE A GLOVE" FIT
Your hand shouldn't feel cramped on your knife. That's why we made a longer neck and 100% softened points of contact. Your hand can breathe and you get drastically better maneuverability.
HANDLES MADE FOR COMFORT
Our handles were designed to be smooth, non-slip, and, oh-so buttery soft. That "extension of my hand" feeling you've been looking for is finally here.
SAFETY-FIRST "NO-CUT" HEEL
Designed to guarantee you'll never cut yourself on the heel again. 1.1" tall with a forward recurve choil. Go ahead, choke up and prep with confidence.
