Paring Knives
Paring knives are designed for paring or peeling fruits and vegetables. They work best in your hands above the cutting board and therefore are designed with narrower blades. Knives in the 2½-4" range are generally preferred for working in your hands but 4-5" versions are more practical for use on the cutting board as small utility knives for slicing small fruits and vegetables.

The 4″ length is still short enough to comfortably peel/pare.
