I like putting colorful garnishes in my dishes. They make what I cook more attractive to my children’s eyes. I discovered long ago that they would eat more when the food is prepared with veggies or fruits in colorful shapes and designs. This is why my paring knife is invaluable in my kitchen.
This knife is small, only about 2 ½ to 4 inches long. It is designed with a plain edge like a chef’s knife but is much smaller. I consider this knife an extension of my hand as it makes peeling fruits and vegetables and slicing small ingredients very easy. I also use this to de-vein shrimps and removing seeds from peppers aside from using it to cut shapes out of different foods for garnishing.

How amazing to watch experts deconstruct a fish by separating the flesh from the inedible parts. With a very sharp filet knife, incredible knife skills and years of experience, filleting fish is almost an art. The filleting process is very much dependent on skill. It takes years of experience to cut the flesh from the bones in one fast stroke. Even the skilled need to be careful or they might end up filleting their fingers.

Stainless steel is the most common material for cutlery used today. But that was not always so. The first spoons were made of horn or wood. They were also of a different, more impractical shape. Later, castings of bronze, brass, pewter and sheet tin became fairly common. Traces of the primitive knife, such as the incurved shape at the top, or the beveling of the metal to achieve an edge, are still present in some of our styles today. Handles at first were only long enough to allow a firm grip for carving.
Today, American cutlery comes in different forms. There are paring and steak knives, big and outdoorsman knives. Most are made of stainless steel and carry a lifetime warranty. They can be bought individually or in sets ready for gift giving. American cutlery also offers related kitchen products such as knife sharpeners and wooden blocks.
