Know before you buy
The spear point design is specifically engineered for intricate tasks that require precision, such as peeling fruits, trimming small vegetables, and mincing herbs. Its narrow profile allows for excellent maneuverability when working with smaller ingredients.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the blade and handle, we recommend hand washing it with warm water and mild soap, then drying it immediately.
Non-forged knives are typically lighter and more flexible than their forged counterparts. This makes the Wüsthof Gourmet paring knife particularly agile and easy to handle for repetitive, detailed tasks.
This knife has a Rockwell Hardness of 56 HRC. This rating indicates a balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening, meaning the blade is durable enough for daily use but can be easily honed at home to maintain its edge.
The handle measures 4 inches in length, which provides a secure, ergonomic grip for most users. While it is designed for precision work, the riveted synthetic handle is shaped to feel stable and comfortable during extended use.
