{"product_id":"pairing-knife-cream-colour","title":"Pairing Knife Cream Colour","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Fuxwell Paring Knife in cream is a small stainless-steel kitchen blade built for close, controlled work \\u2014 peeling, trimming, deveining and shaping fruit and vegetables where a chef's knife is too much tool. Fuxwell sits at the value end of the imported kitchen cutlery market, supplying stainless-steel blade-and-polypropylene-handle knives to households and small caterers across Africa, the Middle East and India, and this paring knife is one of the simplest, most reached-for pieces in that range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is a single piece of mirror-polished stainless steel stamped with the FUXWELL PARING mark, running from a full bolster-free heel into a narrow spear point that gets into apple cores, potato eyes and citrus pith without tearing the flesh around them. The handle is a cream-coloured moulded polypropylene grip with a rounded butt end, chosen for a knife of this size because it stays light in the hand, resists staining from fruit acids, and can go through a dishwasher cycle without the swelling or cracking that wood handles suffer over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this listing apart from Fuxwell's chef and utility knives is scale: at roughly 8-9 cm of blade, this is a one-hand, one-task tool, not a general-purpose kitchen knife. Buyers who already own a Fuxwell block set will recognise the same cream handle finish and blade stamping used across the range, so the paring knife slots straight in as a spare or a first replacement for the piece that wears out fastest in daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe narrow spear-point blade tapers to a fine tip so you can core, de-eye and trim without the wide belly of a chef's knife getting in the way.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA stainless-steel blade resists kitchen corrosion from citrus juice, vinegar and salt, so the edge does not pit or discolour with normal fruit and vegetable prep.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cream polypropylene handle is moulded in one piece with a rounded, flare-free butt, giving a secure grip for pinch-cutting even when your hands are wet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA lightweight blade-to-handle balance keeps the knife nimble for repetitive, fine motor tasks like hulling strawberries or peeling garlic cloves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe polypropylene handle takes dishwasher cycles better than a wooden handle, so the knife can go into daily rotation without special hand-washing care.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact overall length keeps the knife easy to store in a drawer or a small knife block alongside the rest of a Fuxwell set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;

This keeps costs down and makes the knife easy to wipe clean, though it means the edge is thinner and holds a working edge for weeks of normal use rather than months. The handle is injection-moulded polypropylene, a hard-wearing plastic that will not absorb moisture or fruit acid the way a wood or bone handle can, and its rounded cream-coloured profile has no metal rivets or bolster to catch juice, pips or pith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand-washing and drying immediately after use keeps the polished blade free of water spotting and extends the working life of the edge, even though the polypropylene handle itself will tolerate a dishwasher cycle. Because the blade is a stamped stainless steel rather than a hardened forged steel, it responds best to a fine sharpening steel or a ceramic honing rod used little and often, rather than a coarse stone that removes more material than this thin edge needs. Store it point-down in a knife block or in a drawer with the edge protected, since an unguarded paring knife is one of the easiest small blades to nick against cutlery in a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the knife for anyone who wants one dedicated, no-fuss tool for peeling, coring and trimming fruit and vegetables at the sink or the chopping board, rather than reaching for a full chef's knife on small jobs. It suits home cooks building out a Fuxwell block set, caterers who need several identical, low-cost paring knives in rotation, and anyone replacing a worn-out paring knife who wants the same cream-handled look across their kitchen drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs this knife dishwasher safe?\u003c\/b\u003e The polypropylene handle tolerates dishwasher cycles, though hand-washing and drying the blade straight after use keeps the polished edge looking newer for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWill it fit a standard Fuxwell knife block?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes, it uses the same cream handle profile and blade stamping as the rest of the Fuxwell range, so it sits alongside other Fuxwell knives without issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow often does the edge need sharpening?\u003c\/b\u003e Light, regular honing with a ceramic rod keeps the edge working; a full re-sharpen every few weeks of daily kitchen use is typical for a stamped stainless blade like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs the blade full tang?\u003c\/b\u003e No, like most paring knives in this price bracket it uses a partial tang moulded into the polypropylene handle, which keeps the knife light rather than blade-heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Various Brands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68107971854565,"sku":"CDX-k2078C","price":44.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/0010\/6725\/files\/pairing-knife-cream-colour-1.jpg?v=1794471634","url":"https:\/\/guardsondutyshop.co.za\/products\/pairing-knife-cream-colour","provider":"Guards On Duty Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
