Fruit knives for fine and precise work
A sharp fruit knife makes it easier to peel, cut and prepare apples, pears, citrus fruits and many other types of fruit. The compact blade can be guided with control and is especially suitable for precise work.
At MISAKI, this selection includes paring knives and utility knives. Both knife shapes are handy, sharp and suitable for different tasks around fruit.
Paring knife or utility knife?
The short paring knife is suitable for fine work such as peeling, trimming and removing small spots. It can be guided with particular control and can also be used for tasks where the fruit is held in the hand.
The slightly longer utility knife is ideal for cutting fruit on the cutting board, slicing or preparing larger fruits.
Clean cuts without crushing
A sharp blade glides through ripe or delicate fruit with little pressure. This helps the flesh keep its shape and creates clean cut surfaces. Hard cores and stones should not be cut through or levered out with the blade.
Care after acidic fruit
After cutting citrus fruits or other acidic fruit, rinse the knife promptly by hand. Then dry the blade carefully. The dishwasher and prolonged contact with moisture should be avoided.
