Top 10 best fruit knives
A fruit knife is great for small peeling and cutting tasks. Because of the small and narrow blade the knives are very easy to use and therefore perfect for precise cutting tasks. Do you know the exact difference between a fruit knife, vegetable knife, peeling or paring knife? Neither do we. They are actually not all that different. They are all small, enhanced with a thin grind, and lightweight. A fruit knife, or other small knife, is indispensable in the kitchen and is used even more often than a chef's knife. That is why we made a list of a couple of small knives that, we believe, are best suited as fruit knives.

Kai DG-3002D Paring knife
One of the few knives on our website actually called a fruit knife. Suppliers often prefer calling it a peeling or vegetable knife, but KAI decided to use the term fruit knife. This razor-sharp knife will effortlessly cut through any piece of fruit or vegetable. The thin steel and the narrow Japanese-style handle ensure that this knife only weighs 24 grams. Including sheath! The wooden sheath ensures that you can safely store the knife in your drawer without it becoming blunt.

Robert Herder Windmill knife SS - set of 4
A perfect example of a knife we cannot 'put a label on'. These knives excel as peeling knives, vegetable knives, fruit knives or paring knives, but also as utility knives. It is the result of the small and razor-sharp edge. They are also incredibly popular knives because they haven't changed in over 100 years. Chances are you will even find it in your grandmother's house. This is the stainless steel version that won't rust as easily. There is also a carbon steel version. A little sharper, but also prone to rust.
