paring knife
See
illustration A knife used for paring
the edges of leather to be turned over the edges
of the boards. The knife has its cutting edge at
the end, and is ground flat on the underside and
beveled on the upper. There are several varieties
of this type of knife: the English paring knife
has a flat cutting edge; the French knife is
rounded; the German knife, while rounded like the
French version, is also ground at an angle. Except
for paring the edges of leather, the paring knife
has been largely superseded by the SPOKESHAVE . (154 , 204 , 236 , 335 )
