Wusthof Classic Clip Point Paring Knife

The clip point design features a narrowed, pointed tip that provides exceptional control for intricate tasks. It is specifically engineered for precision work like peeling, trimming, and deveining small produce.

The full tang means the steel extends through the entire length of the handle, which provides superior balance, stability, and durability. This construction ensures the knife feels sturdy and secure in your hand during repetitive cutting tasks.

The 58-degree HRC (Hardness Rockwell C) rating indicates a balance between hardness and flexibility. It is hard enough to hold a razor-sharp edge for an extended period, yet resilient enough to resist chipping during normal kitchen use.

Yes, the handle is crafted from Polyoxymethylene (POM), a high-density synthetic material known for its resistance to heat, moisture, and fading. It is designed to withstand the rigors of a busy kitchen while maintaining its shape and grip.

The full bolster acts as a transition point between the handle and the blade, providing a finger guard that protects your hand from slipping. It also adds weight to the center of the knife, which helps improve balance and control while you are chopping or slicing.

To maintain the factory-honed edge, we recommend regular use of a honing steel to realign the blade edge. When the knife eventually dulls, it can be sharpened using a whetstone or a high-quality manual sharpener to restore its precision.
