Wusthof Classic 3-Inch Hollow Ground Paring Knife
One of the most popular types, this 3-inch paring knife by Wusthof comes in handy for a variety of smaller, more detailed cutting tasks. Use it for anything from peeling vegetables to mincing fresh herbs. The knife's sharp fine-edge blade makes thin slices a breeze, while its hollow ground edge reduces friction when cutting and helps prevent food from sticking to the blade.Like all knives in Wusthof's Classic series, the knife's blade, tang, and bolster come precision forged from a single piece of precisely tempered, high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time. Even more, it comes with a unique compound angle not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility. Traditional in look, Classic knives are seamlessly constructed with a visible full tang triple-riveted into an ergonomically-shaped synthetic handle. Though the knife is dishwasher-safe, Wusthof recommends hand-washing all fine cutlery. Made in Germany, the knife measures 7-2/7 by 8/9 by 3/5 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
