Wüsthof Classic IKON Paring Knife, 3-Inch, Flat Cut, black (1040333208)

Wüsthof have an enviable reputation as one of the very best knife manufacturers. They are still made in Germany and don't come cheap. I particularly like the Ikon range. The handle is full tang with a double bolster. The Ergo handle design feels just right in my hand. Feel is important in how precisely you control a very sharp knife. Particularly so with a small paring knife. Wüsthofs take an excellent edge and are designed to be kept sharp with regular honing. Honing is easier with the Ikon range because of the use of a partial bolster. That means the entire blade can be sharpened and honed without a full bolster getting in the way. I use a steel and a honing strop regularly and they stay razor sharp. The sharpness and precision make cooking so much more enjoyable. Look after your Wüsthofs and they should last years. Highly recommended.

Best knives ever, I have been getting these knives to fill the 6 slot block, they are the best knives that I have ever had.

Gute Qualität

So I went a little crazy and bought a lot of higher end German and Japanese pairing knives. 14 of them with one more incoming. This is my favorite out of all of them. The shape of it makes it very easy to use on potatoes. The handle makes it very controllable and comfortable. If you have big hands, that may not be the case for you. Of course it is crazy sharp and cuts through things without force. I love this thing. Its only flaw is that I somehow manged to put tiny scratches on it with a regular kitchen sponge! I liked this one so much that I bought a second one, so this one can be a beater. Thumbs up!

The knife is beautiful, but not very flexible. Fast delivery.
