After a chef's knife, the paring knife is the second-most important knife to have on hand in your kitchen. The small, versatile WÜSTHOF Ikon 3 1/2" Paring Knife has a narrow, plain-edge blade that tapers to a point at the tip, making it easy to handle while trimming, slicing, and peeling. Forged from a single piece of specially tempered WÜSTHOF steel in Solingen, Germany (the cutlery capital of the world) and fitted with ergonomic handles made from sustainably grown, water-resistant African Blackwood, the Ikon series is all about luxury craftsmanship. The final edge work of each blade is honed by hand by one of WÜSTHOF's expert knife artisans, meaning every exquisite knife in this series is also a prepping, plating, and serving workhorse.
