Why do they call it a paring knife?

Because it cuts things into two, so now you have a pair.

My 15-year-old had to think about this for a minute... Then he goes "Wait, doesn't every knife do that?" Congratulations, son, that's called critical thinking.

Original joke time! The apples I had to remove the peals from all appeared in twos, matched for use together.

They pared up nicely.

Did you hear about the pirate whose bird collection was too big?

Everyone kept telling him he needed to "pare it down"
