Wusthof Classic Paring Knife

This size is designed for precision work that requires holding the food in your hand, such as peeling fruits, deveining shrimp, or mincing small aromatics like garlic and shallots. It offers the maneuverability that larger chef's knives lack for intricate tasks.

Yes, it is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the edge sharpness and handle integrity over the long term, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately.

The triple-riveted construction secures the handle scales to the full tang of the blade, which provides exceptional balance, stability, and durability. It ensures the handle won't loosen or separate from the steel even with frequent, heavy use.

The high-carbon stainless steel is engineered to hold a keen edge for a long time. While it resists dulling better than standard stainless steel, you should still use a honing steel periodically to realign the edge and keep it performing at its best.

This construction method means the blade, bolster, and tang are crafted from one continuous piece of steel. This eliminates weak points, resulting in a knife that is significantly stronger, better balanced, and more durable than knives made by welding separate parts together.
