The paring knife is the smallest tool in the kitchen, perfect for handling smaller ingredients with great precision. Peel fruits and vegetables easily and efficiently, while achieving precise cuts and maintaining full control over every moment. This handy little kitchen knife, with a red-stained handle made of Swedish birch wood and a sharp knife blade made of Swedish stainless steel, provides all the conditions you need to succeed.
The Peeling Knife Classic 1891 (S) is characterized by a coil-shaped handle in red-stained Swedish birch, inspired by the very first Mora knife that was created over a century ago. The handle geometry has been progressively improved over the years to provide maximum control and comfort during long sessions in the kitchen.
The stylish, ergonomic handle made of Swedish birch is protected by stainless steel ferrules at both ends, preventing bacteria and moisture from penetrating the wood. With Swedish-made precision-cast stainless steel ferrules, the knives achieve a rustic appearance while providing a comfortable weight and balance in hand. The back ferrule is engraved with the Dalarna coat of arms, serving as a historical guarantee of quality and craftsmanship.
The 8 cm long polished knife blade is made of Swedish stainless steel, 10C28Mo2, with a recycling rate above 80%. This high-quality knife steel allows for razor-sharp knife edges and has a chemical composition that makes it rust-resistant and easier to resharpen.
The knife blade undergoes a rigorous manufacturing process that has been refined over 130 years at the knife factory in Mora. Our goal is to achieve the ideal balance between optimal sharpness and edge retention. The blade material is heat-treated by first being heated to over a thousand degrees in a protected atmosphere, then cooled to room temperature, and subsequently deep-cooled to below -80°C. Finally, the knife blade is tempered at several hundred degrees to maximize the steel’s performance. After this heat treatment, the knife blade reaches a hardness of 57 HRC.
The knife blade is side-ground under meticulous control, followed by precision sharpening of the edge, resulting in a total edge angle of 36 degrees, with 18 degrees per side.
Each component is carefully developed and crafted with masterful quality, and the knives are hand-assembled by skilled artisans at our knife factory in Mora, Sweden.
