ProCook Gourmet X30 Paring Knife

A paring knife is a kitchen essential and our Gourmet X30 paring knife is great for a whole host of kitchen tasks including peeling, slicing and coring fruit and vegetables. Measuring 9cm in length, it will become one of the most valuable tools in your kitchen.

The composition of the stainless steel blade is referred to as X30Cr13 denoting it uses X30 stainless steel, containing 0.3% carbon and 13% chrome. The carbon ensures a non-brittle blade and the chrome offers high corrosion resistance and anti-tarnish.

Featuring triple rivet handles and full tang construction for added strength, each knife in the ProCook Gourmet X30 knife range is stone ground for a super-sharp cutting edge. Each knife is crafted to our proven specification with a specially designed contoured handle for maximum comfort and grip.

Please note under the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (as amended) we are only allowed to sell knives to persons aged 18 and over.

Guidelines for care:

• Carbon stainless steel is not completely stain free. The alloy contains a certain amount of carbon steel, which gives our knives their exceptional cutting edge. This means they can be susceptible to slight tarnishing when cutting foods containing acids, such as fruit.
• Before using for the first time, wash the knives in warm soapy water.
• Use knives on a wooden or nylon chopping board as marble and ceramic boards can, over a period of time, dull the blade.
• To maintain sharpness we recommend the use of our sharpening tools found on our website and in our knife leaflets. Before sharpening, wet the knife with oil for greater friction (never when using electric sharpeners).
• Always wipe carefully after sharpening as tiny pieces of steel may remain on the blade.
• After use, wipe the knife with a warm wet cloth and dry immediately. Carbon contains rusting properties - knives should not be left wet.
• We do not recommend washing your knives in the dishwasher as the dishwasher's high temperature and cooling process may cause premature dulling of the blade.
• Store knives safely upright in a ProCook knife block. Rest each knife on the back of the blade. This is both hygienic and ensures the blades will not become dulled. Ensure the knife is stored in the correct slot. Too short a slot may result in the tip of the blade curling.
