Wusthof Classic 3 1/2 inch Paring Knife 4066-9-7

 (5 customer reviews)

This is my second 3 1/2-inch paring knife in my knife block and my husband's particular favorite. The balance and quality are unsurpassed. With care (don't put in dishwasher)they will last a lifetime. An investment of good quality kitchen knives is a lasting one and they'll pay for themselves many times over. In my opinion, Wusthof Classic is the best.

We had a very nice Hinkles parer, but wanted to get another good knife. This one is better - nice hand feel, and excellent performance, and as always with the classic, I love the construction of the blade/handle join that tapers the handle to the blade without a sudden transition. This completes our Wusthoff set and we like all the knives we've bought from them - they go on vacation with us, as I just can't force myself to use the cheap blades in the condo kitchens where we stay. Never regretted any of the Wustoff purchases, but the Classic is by far the favorite.

This little knife fits the bill for quick and effortless peeling of just about any type of fruit or veggie. I was very impressed with the sharpness of the blade, its weight and balance in my hand. Excellent purchase!
