Why a Dedicated Paring Knife Belongs in Every Drawer
The right tool makes all the difference, and when it comes to peeling, slicing, or trimming, a paring knife is hard to beat.
Our Lottie Paring Knife shows just how useful a compact blade can be.
Precision and Safety – With a 3.5-inch stainless steel blade and 1.7 mm thickness, the Lottie is ideal for close work, such as peeling mangoes or coring tomatoes. It gives you control and reduces the risk of slipping.
Control for In-Hand Tasks – Designed for comfort and balance, it’s easy to grip whether you’re peeling calamansi or segmenting citrus. Tasks that feel clumsy with a large knife are simple here.
Fast Garnish and Detail Work – Use it to trim herbs, devein shrimp, or add delicate finishing touches. Its sharp point helps you work cleanly and quickly.
Space-Saving Tool – Small kitchens benefit big with a knife that does a lot but takes up little space. It’s easy to store and always ready.
Great for Everyday Prep – Whether making “baon” or prepping dinner, the Lottie Paring Knife is the one you’ll reach for first.
Care, Sharpening, and Safety Tips
Stick to a few simple habits to keep your paring knife working like new. Here’s how to keep it sharp, clean, and safe daily.
Sharpen twice a year using a sharpening stone or local knife sharpening service, especially if you don’t have whetstones at home. If sharpening yourself, maintain a 15-20 degree angle and finish with a honing rod.
Hand-wash with warm, soapy water. The Lottie’s stainless steel blade and non-slip silicone handle can withstand light dishwasher use, but hand washing helps them stay sharper longer.
Wipe dry and store properly. Keep it in a sheath, knife block, or tray to avoid dull tips or rust spots—never lose it in a drawer.
Use soft surfaces. Cut on wood or plastic chopping boards. When peeling by hand, stick to soft fruits or veggies to stay safe and in control.
When to Upgrade
If you prep large batches daily or want better control for tricky cuts, it may be time to explore more options.
Mandaue Foam offers kitchen tools like the Lottie Chef's Knife for bigger slicing tasks, the Lottie Cleaver Knife for tougher cuts, and the Hald Knife Organizer to store your blades safely.
Still, the Lottie Paring Knife remains a handy, affordable essential for most everyday meals. It’s easy to clean, comfy to grip, and sharp enough for everything from slicing fruit to prepping dinner.
