You would use the short blade of the paring knife to peel an apple or maybe to cut a nectarine into sections (down to the pit). The chef's knife is a much longer blade. You would use that as an easier to chop food, etc.

Would i use a chefs knife or paring knife to get pepper seeds out?
To remove seeds from a pepper, such as a bell pepper or chili pepper, it's generally more effective to use a paring knife rather than a chef's knife. Here's why: Paring Knife: Paring knives are smaller and more maneuverable than chef's knives. Their pointed and narrow blades are well-suited for precision tasks like removing seeds from peppers. Pepper Size: When you're working with smaller peppers like jalapeños or serranos, a paring knife provides better control and allows you to navigate the small cavity and seeds more easily. Here's a simple step-by-step guide on using a paring knife to remove seeds from a pepper: Start by washing the pepper thoroughly. Cut off the stem end of the pepper to create an opening. Insert the tip of the paring knife into the opening and gently cut or scrape along the inner walls of the pepper to loosen the seeds and the white membrane (pith). Use the tip of the paring knife to lift out the seeds and any remaining pith. You can further clean the pepper by rinsing it under running water or tapping it gently to remove any remaining seeds. Your pepper is now ready for your desired culinary use. While a paring knife is ideal for this task, a chef's knife can also be used if you don't have a paring knife on hand. However, you may need to exercise more caution and precision when using a larger blade.
