Paring Knife – Smooth Blade, 9 cm – Black | Classic Pro

This black 9 cm smooth-bladed paring knife is a practical partner for everyday preparation. Easy to bring close to the ingredient, it helps make accurate cuts on fruit and vegetables, from simple slicing to careful finishing work.

A smooth edge for accurate everyday cutting

A smooth-bladed paring knife is one of the most useful tools beside the chopping board. Its continuous cutting edge helps you work through fruit and vegetables in a clean, controlled motion. From chopping an apple or slicing radishes to trimming a small vegetable, it brings precision to the tasks that precede almost every meal. A shorter blade favours close work, while a slightly longer one provides more reach without sacrificing the familiar feel of a paring knife.

The technique is reassuringly simple. Place the ingredient on a stable board, use a steady grip and adapt the size of each piece to the dish you are preparing. Thin slices for a salad, small cubes for a sauce or neat pieces for a pan of vegetables all depend on the same quality: a blade you can guide accurately. The smooth edge supports those variations without drawing attention away from the food.

A dependable knife within easy reach

This is the type of knife you reach for almost without thinking. It can help prepare a single piece of fruit, finish a garnish or work through several ingredients for a larger recipe. Its practical proportions make it especially useful when a full-size chef’s knife would be unnecessary. Good handling and a suitable chopping board help maintain control and make preparation more enjoyable.

Nogent*** has placed the quality of the cutting gesture at the centre of its craft since 1923. A simple, precise tool leaves more room for the pleasure of cooking.

Its black polypropylene handle provides a practical, comfortable grip. The design stays focused on the cutting gesture, with a finish that is easy to recognise among everyday utensils.
