A small, versatile knife with a slim, powerful blade and extremely sharp plain edge (the technical term for the cutting part of the blade). The WÜSTHOF 3 1/2" Paring Knife is ideal for precisely chopping smaller ingredients such as onions and herbs. It is also the perfect tool for peeling, chopping, and carving fruit and vegetables. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating: the DLC-coated blade is the gold standard on the knife market. It glides almost effortlessly through hard and soft ingredients and is also extremely durable and scratch-resistant. Hexagon Power Grip: the innovative, ergonomic handle with its offset non-slip honeycomb structure ensures ultimate control and is ideal for all working conditions.

When you use a WÜSTHOF knife, you can be sure that you are holding one of world’s best kitchen tools in your hand.

We have been developing and manufacturing our products in Solingen, Germany, the “City of Blades,” since 1814 – loyalty that pays off in the quality and reliability of our family business, knife by knife.

High quality WÜSTHOF steel: Our special stainless steel is durable, corrosion resistant, easy to sharpen, and reduces wear on the blade. Ideal for chef’s knives.

Impressive sharpness: For over 200 years, we’ve been refining the perfect edge and developing special techniques that keep our blades sharper for longer. Ideal for precise movements.
