A versatile paring is an essential tool in every kitchen.
Like the chef's , a paring is meant to be used for a
wide array of jobs; however, the first and foremost function of a
paring is detail work and greater control. Its slightly
curved blade and pointed tip even resemble a chef's , but,
is a fraction of the size, which makes it great for small,
precision cuts where control is essential. The 4" blade length,
slightly longer than the standard 3 1/4" parer, offers additional
strength when slicing and dicing fruits and vegetables. The
pointed tip allows you to make intricate cuts or check the
tenderness of meat and vegetables. With increased maneuverability
and dexterity, you'll find endless rtunities to utilize this
nimble .
Featuring a world-renowned blade and perfect balance, the 4"
Swiss Classic Paring provides a professional-grade tool
optimized for home use. The tapered edge is ground in two
directions to hold a sharp edge longer, and can easily be brought
back to its original sharpness.

commercial heritage and modified them to suit the home chef. The
Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Classic collection offers a
contemporary handle, inspired by our patented Fibrox Pro line.
Designed to minimize wrist tension while providing a secure grip,
the contoured nylon handle is both lightweight and durable,
making these knives seem less likes tools and more like an
extension of your hand.

offers not only the right tools and the know-how, but most
importantly, the confidence to achieve one’s culinary
aspirations. Expertly crafted in Switzerland since 1884,

Formerly Forschner
In 1937 Victorinox began selling cutlery in America through a
Connecticut distributor called R.H. Forschner & Co. A well-known
manufacturer of butcher scales, Forschner soon became the
exclusive U.S. distributor for Victorinox knives, and was the
name by which Victorinox knives were known.
In 2011 Victorinox began marketing all its product lines,
including kitchen knives, under the common umbrella name by which
the company is now popularly known – Victorinox Swiss Army.
Care and Use
Be good to your knives and they’ll be good to you. Following
these simple guidelines will ensure that you get the longest life
out of your !
Hand Washing
Victorinox Swiss Army recommends washing all knives by hand. For
best results, hand wash your knives with a soapy cloth and dry
immediately.
Dishwasher
While Swiss Classic knives are dishwasher safe, we recommend
hand washing as dishwashers are designed to spray water at a
relatively high pressure, which can jostle the silverware and
cause the knives to collide, dulling the edge.
Maintaining your ’s Edge
For optimum performance, knives should be honed after every
couple of uses. Proper and frequent use of a honing steel will
keep your knives sharper and performing at their best, but
remember that a honing steel will not sharpen a dull .
Honing steels are maintenance tools and are used to help keep an
already sharp blade from degrading. During use, a edge
becomes rolled or turned from direct contact with cutting boards,
s or other hard objects. In this case, honing is necessary to
straighten the edge of the . After significant use, the
steel particles become damaged and the edge cannot be brought
back by honing, so sharpening is necessary. If your knives are
dull, pitted, or you see visible nicks on the cutting edge,
you’ll need to sharpen with a Swiss Sharp Handheld Sharpener
(49002) or bring to a professional for re-sharpening.
History and Heritage
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in
Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers’ union he formed
produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous
proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home
cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard
issue Soldier’s and in 1897 with the Officer’s . In
1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the
advent of stainless steel, then known as “inoxydable” and used in
the production of his cutlery, Karl changed the name of the
company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a
worldwide icon was born.
Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener
family, and both the company and family still resides in the
small village of Ibach, Switzerland."
