Mercer Culinary Genesis Paring Knife 3.5-Inch, Black

Mercer Cutlery, a predominant supplier to culinary academies, has introduced the Genesis Collection of kitchen knives to bring professional quality to home chefs. The Genesis knives are known for their comfort, durability, and efficiency, featuring fully forged, single-piece blades made from high-carbon, no-stain German steel. These knives have taper-grind edges that are polished by hand, and substantial bolsters that provide excellent balance. The black nonslip Santoprene handles make Genesis knives comfortable and secure to hold, enhancing efficiency and safety in the kitchen.

The Genesis 3-1/2-inch paring knife is an essential tool for slicing small fruit, trimming vegetables, and creating garnishes. This piece, made in Taiwan using European components and technology, complements the Genesis chef's, carving, and santoku knives. It is recommended to wash the knife by hand for best results and it comes with Mercer's one-year warranty.

Highlights of the Genesis 3.5-inch Forged Paring Knife include precision-forged high-carbon German steel construction for improved durability, along with a taper-ground edge that allows for increased efficiency and long-lasting sharpness. The knife also features a superior ergonomic handle designed for comfort and a non-slip grip, even with wet hands.

The Genesis paring knife is best used for small slicing and intricate cutting tasks, such as creating garnishes, seeding jalapenos, deveining shrimp, and trimming beans. To ensure the knife's performance and longevity, it is recommended to carefully wash it by hand with warm water and mild soap, and to dry it completely with a soft towel. It is important not to place the knife in the dishwasher or submerge it for long periods of time.

As part of the Mercer Culinary Genesis Series, this knife is an essential tool in every kitchen, suitable for professional use or for home cooking enthusiasts who never stop experimenting in the kitchen.
