Paring is the most repetitive job in a kitchen and the one most likely to cause hand fatigue, because the grip is tight and the strokes are short. The V-Lo handle is softer and thicker than the standard Sani-Safe moulding, which spreads that load across the palm.
The blade is a fine-pointed 3.5-inch stain-free grind — the length that gives enough edge to hull, peel and turn vegetables while still being short enough to steer with the thumb resting on the work.
Dexter-Russell has made cutlery in Southbridge, Massachusetts since 1818 and is the oldest cutlery manufacturer in the United States. V-Lo is its ergonomic line, with a two-material handle angled to keep the wrist neutral through repetitive cuts.
