Wusthof Ikon Paring Knife

A 3.5-inch paring knife is designed for intricate tasks that require precision, such as peeling fruits, deveining shrimp, or trimming small vegetables. Its compact size offers superior control compared to a larger chef's knife.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with warm water and mild soap, then drying it immediately to maintain the integrity of the blade and handle.

Forged knives are crafted from a single piece of steel that is heated and hammered into shape. This process creates a stronger, more durable blade that is better balanced and holds its edge longer than stamped alternatives.

To preserve the razor-sharp edge, store the knife in a dedicated knife block or a drawer tray with slots. Avoid storing it loose in a drawer with other utensils, as contact with other metal can dull or chip the blade.

While the blade is made from high-carbon, no-stain steel that offers excellent resistance to corrosion, it is still important to keep the knife clean and dry. Avoid leaving it in a wet sink or soaking it, as prolonged exposure to moisture can still cause spotting.
