Small, versatile, and with a slim blade and plain edge, the Wusthof Crafter 3.5” Paring knife will come in handy often to precisely, trim, peel, slice, and cut handheld items. While it is perfect for detailed work, this knife is ideal for all small cutting tasks in the kitchen, it is truly all-purpose and, after a chef’s knife, is the most important knife in a chef’s toolkit! A paring knife can peel an apple, remove the stem from a strawberry, and take the eyes out of potatoes without breaking a sweat. The paring knife is also great for mincing garlic on a cutting board. It can even de-vein shrimp with ease. For those with an artistic flair who enjoy fun and interesting fruit and vegetable platters, the paring knife makes a perfect garnishing tool for carving fine and intricate patterns on a variety of foods. The half bolster design allows the entire blade to be used and resharpened while also making it more lightweight and energy-saving to use. The rustic and exceptionally high-quality Crafter series from Wusthof evokes and celebrates the spirit of old-world craftsmanship with traditional blade shapes, authentic brass rivets, and smoked oak handles. Especially eye-catching is the water-resistant smoked oak handle featuring one-of-a-kind grain patterns, a branded trident logo, and beautiful brass rivets. With the use of Wusthof’s high-carbon stain-free steel, precision-forged construction, and famed Precision Edge Technology, all the Wusthof Crafter knives have incredible edge-retention, durability, balance, and corrosion resistance.
