A paring knife, also called a turning knife, is a small, handy knife with a curved or straight blade, specifically designed for peeling and turning fruits, vegetables, and potatoes . The knife gets its name from the French word 'tourner' ('to turn') – this allows the knife to be guided cleanly around curves, which is ideal for garnishes or uniformly shaped potatoes.
