A paring knife is the second-most important knife to have in the kitchen. (The first is a chef's knife!) The small, narrow blade of the WÜSTHOF Classic 4" Paring Knife is easy to handle, making it the perfect knife to trim, slice, and peel small produce such as herbs, strawberries, and garlic cloves. With a plain-edge blade that tapers to a point at the tip, this 4" paring knife is your handy companion for detailed kitchen work that requires precise, agile control.
