This is a Wüsthof Classic paring knife, typically used for precision cutting tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing small fruits and vegetables. Its short, sharp blade allows for excellent control, making it ideal for intricate work like deveining shrimp, hulling strawberries, or creating decorative garnishes. Paring knives are an essential tool in any kitchen for tasks that require more finesse than a larger chef’s knife can provide.

The Wüsthof Classic range is the brand’s most iconic and widely recognized knife series, known for its exceptional quality, durability, and precision. Each knife in this collection is forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, ensuring superior strength and edge retention. The full-tang construction, combined with a triple-riveted synthetic handle, provides a well-balanced and ergonomic grip for maximum comfort and control. Utilizing Wüsthof’s Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), the Classic range delivers razor-sharp blades that maintain their edge longer than traditional knives. Designed for both professional chefs and home cooks, the Wüsthof Classic series offers a versatile selection of knives, from chef’s knives to paring and bread knives, making it a staple in kitchens worldwide.
