A 17cm stainless steel paring knife for precision cutting, peeling and trimming tasks in commercial prep areas. Used for detail work on vegetables, fruit, garnishes and portioning where blade length under 20cm is required. Supplied by Karaca under the Dr. Inox commercial line for hotels, restaurants and catering operations.
Commercial Application
