vegetable knife

Kitchen cutting tool

A vegetable knife is a small kitchen knife designed for peeling, trimming, and slicing vegetables.

The blade is typically short and slightly curved, allowing precise control for detailed work like removing eyes from potatoes or coring tomatoes.

Also called a paring knife, though some distinguish between the two based on blade shape.
