Wüsthof Classic Ikon 3-inch Flat Cut Paring Knife

On the Wüsthof Classic Ikon 3-inch flat cut paring knife, the edge runs straight from heel to tip, so the whole edge meets the cutting board at once. That makes it the paring knife for small cuts on the board, such as slicing a single strawberry, cutting cherry tomatoes in half or mincing a shallot in fine, even pieces.

In the hand, the flat edge peels and trims as well as a pointed paring knife, and the blunter tip is less likely to catch a finger when you cut toward your thumb. Some cooks call this shape a sheep’s foot or a kudamono knife, the Japanese name for a fruit knife.

The contoured Ikon handle fills the palm and leaves room for a pinch grip, and its open heel lets you sharpen the full edge. For a pointed blade, see the Classic Ikon 3.5-inch paring knife; for round fruit, the curved Classic peeling knife. The flat cut blade is also part of the Classic 2-piece Asian set. Our kitchen knife shapes guide compares paring shapes.

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.
