Wüsthof Classic 4-inch Paring Knife

Half an inch longer than the standard paring blade, the Wüsthof Classic 4-inch paring knife adds reach, and that extra length lets it work on the cutting board as well as in the hand. It slices limes for drinks, segments an orange and trims the fat cap from a small steak.

The pointed tip still handles detail work, such as removing the eyes from a potato or hulling berries, and the blade is long enough to cut a whole apple into wedges without sawing. Its grip holds firm even with damp fingers, and the knife is light enough to use for a long session of prep.

Choose the Classic 3.5-inch paring knife if your paring is done in the hand, and this 4-inch if you also want a small knife for quick jobs on the board. For jobs between paring and chef’s knife, see the Classic 4.5-inch utility knife. Our guide to knife shapes explains where paring and utility knives overlap.

    Care

    Wash by hand in warm, soapy water right after use and dry it immediately. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Hone it regularly on a steel and sharpen it when honing no longer restores the edge. Cut on wood or plastic boards, never on glass, stone or metal.
