Ask a Question About This Product
The Dr. Inox 17cm paring knife is a stainless steel precision tool used for trimming, peeling, and detail work in commercial prep areas. It handles small-scale cutting tasks requiring close control: garnish preparation, vegetable peeling, fruit sectioning. Operators use it during mise en place and final plating stages.
Commercial Application
Commercial kitchens require knives that maintain edge retention across multiple service periods while meeting hygiene standards. This 17cm blade length provides enough working surface for detailed cuts without the bulk of larger chef knives. It fits into standard knife roll systems and wall-mounted magnetic strips used in prep stations.
Paring knives operate during early prep shifts for vegetable peeling and during service for garnish assembly. The 17cm length allows control during intricate cuts while providing reach for medium-sized produce. Stainless steel construction supports repeated washing cycles between tasks without corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What stainless steel grade is used in the blade?
A: The blade uses stainless steel meeting food contact standards. Specific grade information (304 or 430 equivalent) is available through direct inquiry for compliance documentation requirements.
Q: Can this knife withstand commercial dishwasher cycles?
A: Hand washing is recommended to maintain edge sharpness and handle integrity. Commercial dishwasher detergents and high temperatures accelerate wear on blade edge and handle materials.
Q: What is the expected service life in high-volume prep operations?
A: Service life depends on usage frequency and sharpening intervals. Commercial kitchens processing 50-100 covers daily typically require blade resharpening every 2-3 weeks and replacement after 12-18 months.
Q: Is the 17cm length suitable for all paring tasks?
A: 17cm provides general-purpose capability for most prep work. Operations requiring very fine detail work may prefer 10-12cm blades; larger vegetable processing benefits from 20cm+ utility knives.
Q: Are bulk orders available for multi-site restaurant groups?
A: Yes. TurcoBazaar handles bulk procurement for hotel groups and restaurant chains requiring standardised tooling across locations. Contact for volume pricing and delivery scheduling.
