Mercer Culinary M20003 3.5" Forged Paring Knife
The Mercer Culinary M20003 3.5" Forged Paring Knife from the Genesis® collection is designed for precision cutting, peeling, trimming, and other detailed food preparation tasks. Featuring precision-forged construction, this 3.5-inch paring knife delivers strength and durability for everyday use in commercial kitchens and home kitchens alike. The blade is crafted from high-carbon German cutlery steel that resists rust, corrosion, and discoloration, while the taper-ground 15° edge provides added stability, easy honing, long-lasting sharpness, and increased cutting efficiency. A forged bolster reinforces the knife, enhances durability, and provides excellent balance for improved handling, while the full tang further contributes to overall balance during use. NSF certified, the Genesis® series combines modern technology with finely crafted German steel for dependable kitchen performance.
The Genesis® handle is made from ergonomic Santoprene®, providing superior comfort and a non-slip grip, even with wet hands. This combination of comfort, control, and durable construction makes the Mercer Culinary M20003 an excellent choice for chefs, foodservice professionals, and serious home cooks. To maximize performance, Mercer Culinary recommends washing the knife by hand with warm water and mild soap, rinsing thoroughly, and drying immediately with a soft towel. Dishwasher use and prolonged soaking are not recommended, as they may affect blade and handle performance. The Mercer Culinary M20003 is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, providing added confidence in its long-term quality and craftsmanship.
