High-carbon German steel
Full tang with ergonomic handles
Ultra Sharp
Most kitchens treat paring knives as an afterthought — one blade in a block, sized somewhere between 3.5 and 4 inches, expected to handle every small-knife job. That works for the cook who does basic prep. For anyone who does real detail work, the one-blade approach reveals its limit fast. The 4-inch fruit knife is the right tool for the larger detail cuts — slicing a tomato into thin rounds, segmenting an orange, cutting strawberries in half, chopping a small bunch of herbs. The slightly longer blade gives the cook reach for the work that needs a draw-cut motion. The 3-inch peeling knife is the right tool for the closer work — peeling an apple in one continuous spiral, hulling a strawberry, removing the eyes from a potato, shaping a radish for garnish. The shorter blade gives the cook tighter control for work where the knife is in close contact with the fingers and the cut requires precision rather than reach. Owning both means the right tool is in your hand for both jobs instead of forcing one knife to do both poorly. Both blades are forged from high-carbon German steel, hand-sharpened to a 14–16° edge per side, set into triple-riveted Pakkawood handles with full-tang construction. The set is also the easier first paring purchase for new cooks who don't yet know which paring size they prefer — it's $12 more than the single 3.5″ paring and gives you both sizes to develop preference. Lifetime warranty on both blades.
All Cutluxe knives are forged from high-carbon German steel — rust-resistant, impact-tough, and precision-tapered to a razor-sharp 14–16° edge. Handles are crafted from ergonomic Pakkawood for a secure, comfortable grip in any condition. Every knife features full tang construction for maximum balance and control. To keep your knife performing at its best: Hand-wash only — dishwashers damage the edge and handle over time Dry immediately after washing to prevent moisture build-up Hone regularly with a honing rod to keep the edge aligned between sharpenings Store on a magnetic strip, in a knife roll, or in a block — never loose in a drawer Use a wooden or plastic cutting board; glass and ceramic surfaces dull the blade

REAL COOKING
Whether you're breaking down a brisket for Sunday's cookout or trimming a roast for dinner guests, Cutluxe knives gives you the right blade for every cut.
DETAIL 2-PIECE PARING KNIFE SET
Two small knives for the work big blades fumble. The 4″ fruit knife handles tomato slicing, citrus segmenting, herb chopping. The 3″ peeling knife handles apple peeling, strawberry hulling, garnish shaping. Forged German steel, Pakkawood handles, the same construction as the rest of the Cutluxe lineup.
Paring Knife Set
Most home kitchens have one paring knife — the 3.5-inch standard. That's enough for some cooks. But anyone who does real detail work knows the paring knife is two jobs in one — the larger slicing/segmenting work (tomatoes, citrus, herbs) and the tighter peeling/shaping work (apples, strawberries, garnishes). One blade does both at "fine, but not great" instead of "right" for each.
- 4″ Fruit Knife — slightly bigger paring blade for tomato slicing, citrus segmenting, herb chopping
- 3″ Peeling Knife — smaller controlled blade for apple peeling, strawberry hulling, garnish work
- Forged high-carbon German steel — same construction as the rest of the Cutluxe lineup
- Triple-riveted Pakkawood handles — full-tang construction on both pieces

Between the range and the exhaust vent there is a steel backsplash. It is perfect for the knives than the wooden block under the cabinets.

Thin & Curved Boning Knife
I’ve always liked working with sharp knives and tools, so I carefully searched for the best balance between cost and quality—that’s how I found Cutluxe.
Unfortunately, one of the sharpening stones arrived damaged during shipping, so I contacted their customer service team. Their response was much faster than expected, and they promptly provided a solution.
This clearly shows their professionalism and commitment to customers. I highly recommend buying with confidence. Cutluxe is a serious, reliable brand and definitely worth the investment.

In Dec/25, I ordered the 5" Santoku for myself. I love it SO much, I bought 2 others for gifts. 1) The knife is well weighted, comfortable to hold, easy to use, sharp, sharp, sharp and beautiful to look at. 2) I know the recipients will love their Santoku as much as I love mine. 3) The packaging of the knife is amazing which is important if you are giving it as a gift. Very classy. 4) The customer service at Cutluxe is stellar. I had an issue regarding a return (of my own doing) and their response time immediate, polite and professional. I was very impressed with this aspect of the business. I have told many friends about the quality of the product and the superior after-sales responses. Thank you Cutluxe.

Well balanced full tang. Slices bread like a razor. Thank you for your beautiful knives.

Frequently Asked Questions
One is enough for a cook who only does basic prep. Two is right for a cook who does enough detail work to feel the difference. The paring knife has two distinct jobs: the larger slicing/segmenting work (tomatoes, citrus, herbs, mid-sized fruits) and the smaller peeling/shaping work (apples, strawberries, potato eyes, garnishes). One paring blade can do both, but each at "fine, but not great" — you compromise on reach for the bigger cuts and you compromise on control for the smaller cuts. The set splits those two jobs across two purpose-sized blades — the 4-inch fruit knife for the bigger detail work, the 3-inch peeling knife for the tighter precision work. For a cook who does real detail prep at every meal, the two-knife setup is the right approach. For a cook who occasionally peels an apple, the single 3.5″ Paring Knife is enough.
Different jobs. The 4-inch fruit knife is the right tool for cuts where the blade needs reach: tomato slicing (the longer blade does the slice in one draw-cut without sawing), citrus segmenting (long enough to follow the curve of an orange), herb chopping (length helps with rocking motion), small fruit halving (strawberries, grapes, kiwi). Most home cooks use the 4-inch for 60-70% of their paring work. The 3-inch peeling knife is the right tool for cuts where blade-length is the obstacle rather than the asset: peeling apples in a continuous spiral (the shorter blade lets you curve around the fruit), hulling strawberries (the tip works precisely into the stem), removing eyes from potatoes, shaping radishes or carrots for garnish, deveining shrimp. The shorter blade gives tighter control where reach isn't needed.
Different value proposition. The single 3.5″ Paring Knife is the all-purpose middle-ground tool — slightly longer than a peeling knife, slightly shorter than a fruit knife, designed to handle both jobs at adequate (not optimal) performance. It's the right purchase for a cook who only needs one paring knife or who wants the smallest possible Cutluxe Artisan investment. The Paring Knife Set splits that middle ground into two purpose-built sizes — the 4-inch for the bigger detail work, the 3-inch for the tighter precision. For $12 more than the single 3.5″, you get two blades instead of one. For a cook who does real detail prep work, the two-blade approach is the better investment. For a cook who only occasionally pares: stick with the single 3.5″.
Same routine as any quality knife with one note about storage. Hand-wash with mild detergent, towel-dry immediately, store with the tips protected. Small knives are particularly prone to tip damage from loose-drawer storage (they bounce around against other tools), so either keep them in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in dedicated blade-guard sheaths in a drawer. Avoid the dishwasher (kills the edge), avoid glass cutting boards (chip the edge), avoid leaving them in the sink between uses (the heat and detergent residue dull the edge faster than you'd expect). Sharpening cadence: every 8-12 months for regular use, depending on how often the recipient hits the bone-equivalent contact (apple seeds, citrus pith, herb stems). The Whetstone Sharpening Kit handles small knives fine with normal technique.
Strong gift for a cook who does real detail prep work or a new cook building a kitchen. Less right for a recipient who already owns multiple paring knives in their existing block (they'd just get duplicates). The honest test: does the recipient cook from scratch enough to do paring work daily? If yes, this is the gift they'll actually use. Lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects for the original owner. 30-day money-back covers everything else — wrong fit, change of mind, doesn't suit the kitchen. The set goes back without an argument, no restock fees. The single 3.5″ Paring Knife is the alternative if the gift-giver isn't sure the recipient does enough detail work for two sizes; the 8-Piece Block is the upgrade if the recipient is setting up a kitchen from scratch.
