Mercer 3" Millenia Primary 4 Paring Knife

The Mercer 3" Millenia Primary 4 Paring Knifee is a compact professional kitchen knife designed for detailed food preparation and precision cutting tasks. Its 3" (7.6 cm) blade is made from high-carbon Japanese steel, providing easy edge maintenance and rapid sharpening when needed. The stamped construction offers a practical design for everyday commercial and foodservice applications, making this paring knife suitable for tasks that require control and accuracy. The blade material and compact size make it a useful addition to professional kitchen cutlery collections where a dedicated small knife is needed for detailed preparation.

The ergonomic handle combines Santoprene® for comfort with polypropylene for durability, providing a practical grip during repeated food preparation. Textured finger points help provide slip resistance, grip, and safety, while the protective finger guard adds an additional safety feature during use. This red-handled paring knife is NSF certified. For maintaining performance, Mercer recommends washing the knife by hand after each use with warm water and mild- to medium-strength soap, then rinsing and thoroughly drying it with a soft towel. Dishwasher cleaning is not recommended, as heat, temperature changes, and caustic detergent can affect the handle and blade. Avoid prolonged soaking and contact with chlorine or bleach, and store the knife in a cutlery block or sheath to help protect the cutting edge and support safe storage.
