Wusthof Classic Paring Knife

The serrated edge is specifically designed to grip and slice through delicate textures, such as the skin of a tomato or a crusty roll, without crushing the interior. It is an excellent choice for tasks where you need to pierce a surface cleanly without slipping.

A full tang means the steel blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, strength, and stability, ensuring the knife won't snap or loosen at the connection point over years of heavy use.

While the materials are durable, we strongly recommend hand-washing your Wüsthof knife. Dishwasher detergents and the high-pressure spray can dull the edge prematurely and potentially damage the handle material over time.

A hardness rating of 58 HRC strikes an ideal balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. It is hard enough to hold a sharp edge through daily kitchen tasks, but not so brittle that it becomes difficult to maintain with a honing steel.

Yes, the ergonomic design of the Classic series handle is contoured to provide a secure grip for a variety of hand sizes. The triple-riveted construction feels substantial and balanced, offering excellent control for intricate peeling or trimming work.
