Designed with the look of an Asian knife, this three-inch parer features a perfectly straight edge that’s ideal for mincing fresh herbs and chopping and dicing fruit and vegetables. Like all knives in Wusthof’s Classic series, acclaimed for their exceptional balance, heft, and strength, the paring knife is precision forged from a single piece of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel, and should last a lifetime. The blade on the paring knife has been impeccably ground, tapered, and polished, and its super-sharp edge laser-tested for uniformity. After repeated use, the edge may be easily resharpened using a sharpening steel. Traditional in look, Classic knives are seamlessly constructed with a visible full tang triple-riveted into an ergonomically-shaped synthetic handle. Though the knife is dishwasher-safe, Wusthof recommends hand-washing all fine cutlery. Made in Germany, the knife is fully guaranteed to be free of defects in materials and/or craftsmanship.
