Wüsthof Ikon 3.5-inch Paring Knife, African Blackwood

Wüsthof Ikon 3.5-inch Paring Knife, African Blackwood

The Wüsthof Ikon 3.5-inch paring knife puts a forged paring blade on a handle of African blackwood, a dark, dense wood that brings warmth to a small knife used every day. Functionally it matches the Classic Ikon 3.5-inch; the wood handle is the upgrade.

Use it to peel and trim in the hand, to hull strawberries, to remove the seeds from a jalapeño or to score the skin of a pork belly. The handle is shaped to fill the palm, comfortable for a full grip and natural in a pinch grip, and because the heel has no bolster, the entire edge can be sharpened.

Blackwood takes a little extra care. Wash the knife by hand and dry it right away, then oil the handle with food-grade mineral oil now and then. The same blade on a synthetic handle is the Classic Ikon 3.5-inch paring knife. The Ikon 6-inch utility knife and Ikon 8-inch chef’s knife share this handle. Our knife shapes guide describes paring styles in detail.

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. Rub the blackwood handle with food-grade mineral oil now and then.
