The 4 inch paring knife is used for cleaning, peeling and slicing small fruits and vegetables or to bone small poultry. Daniel Boulud designed this 4 inch classic shaped version to work as an extension of the hand and successfully negotiate small details. This knife is 100% forged from a single piece of highest quality high carbon stainless steel. The polymer handle is ergonomically designed and accented with signature DBK rivets. Daniel Boulud is a New York based chef who combines the best of traditional European cooking with the freshest of American ingredients. Growing up on his family's farm near Lyon France he was inspired by his grandmothers cooking, and by 13 he knew he wanted to become a professional chef. His renowned restaurants in New York City include Daniel, a four star eatery on Park Avenue named one of the ten best restaurants in the world. Chef Boulud has personally designed every piece in the DBK line with function and form in mind.
