A paring knife is the second-most important knife to have in the kitchen. (The first is a chef's knife!) The WÜSTHOF Classic Ikon 3" Flat Cut Paring Knife's small, narrow blade is easy to handle, making it the perfect knife to trim, slice, and peel small produce such as herbs, strawberries, and garlic cloves. The flat edge of this Classic Ikon Paring Knife provides more contact with the cutting board, which allows for precise, agile control.
