Editorial Review:
The Wusthof 3.5" Paring Knife is the most versatile of all parers. It's perfect for mincing shallots, onions and herbs -- as well as cleaning and cutting vegetables.
The small size and sharp point of this paring knife make it ideal for handheld and other small or intricate cutting chores, such as vegetable peeling or mincing small amounts of parsley. An obligatory kitchen addition, this knife carries its weight mostly in its extremely comfortable handle, which allows you greater control.
Part of the Classic series, this knife represents two centuries of unexcelled Wüsthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this knife brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to any cook who owns it. --Arthur Boehm

"B" grade quality?:
I purchased this knife from Macy's and initially, was very happy. This knife just feels perfect in your hand, has great balance, and very sharp. Unfortunately, sometimes I don't immediately clean my knives right when I'm done, and I have to either scrub or soak them later. Because this states on the box it's "dishwasher safe," and the fact that it is a "professional" knife, I assumed it would be okay to soak in a sink with warm soapy water. I did this a few times, and one night I forgot it in the sink... more info
My Favorite Paring Knife:
Yes, another lowing report for this knife. I have a 24 yr. old Chicago Cutlery set that sharpens up well but this knife stays sharp a long time. I bought two of these.
better than i thought:
i wasn't going to order this knife however on a whim i did and i'm glad i did. its an excellent paring knife
Use it all the time:
Wusthoff or Henkels? I think they are the same. Either way they are great. I own the Wusthoff paring knife and I use it all the time. Probably most often used for slicing cheese. Great item. Definitely worth the extra price than your cheapy paring knives from Chicago Institute or something like that.
