Berkel's Classic Line Paring Knife has a 7.5cm stainless steel blade built for the close-control work that longer knives can't do well: peeling, trimming, hulling, segmenting citrus, or carving small vegetables. At 75g and 18cm overall, it sits comfortably in the hand without fatigue. The blade is X50 CrMoV15 stainless steel with a polished welded bolster, paired with a glossy red ABS handle finished with three rivets and a mirror polish. The Classic Line Classic Line knives are built around a single-piece polished weld construction that eliminates the joint between blade and handle, the area most prone to harbouring bacteria and structural weakness. The steel is X50 CrMoV15, a high-carbon stainless alloy widely used in professional kitchen knives for its balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance. Handles are gloss red ABS with mirror finish and three-rivet fixing. Each knife ships in an FSC-certified gift box with foldable cardboard interior.

Most paring knives sacrifice either balance or blade quality. The Classic Line does neither. The welded construction keeps weight distribution consistent, the X50 CrMoV15 steel holds an edge through sustained use, and the riveted ABS handle gives a secure grip even when working with wet produce. It's a genuine workhorse at this blade length, and Berkel backs it with the same manufacturing standards applied to their professional slicer range.

About Berkel Berkel has been making slicers since 1898, when Wilhelmus Adrianus van Berkel patented the original hand-cranked flywheel design in Rotterdam. The company's design and product work is based in Italy today, and that same mechanism still runs through the Volano range alongside the electric slicers and knives. We're an authorised UK retailer, so every Berkel product we sell is genuine and backed by the manufacturer's warranty. Find out more about Berkel.
