Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
This knife's small size and serrated edge make it ideal for cutting citrus and other fruit peels. It can also be used for sectioning grapefruit and other small cutting chores, such as coring.
Part of the Classic series, this knife represents two centuries of unexcelled Wusthof 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 its owners.

Details of a Forged Wusthof Knife
PEtec--Precision-Edge Technology
New Wusthof technology offers superior sharpness!
The latest cutting performance tests carried out by the FGW (Forschungsgemeinschaft Werkzeuge und Werkstoffe e.V., a German research association for tools and materials based in Remscheid) confirm that Wusthof forged knives offer the best quality when compared to other well-known, single-layer brands.
The extensive tests were carried out in accordance with DIN EN ISO 8442-5. Wusthof knives have a considerably higher ICP (Initial Cutting Performance) and maintain this performance for an extremely long time (TCC = Total Card Cut).
When compared with the winners in the "cook's knife" category awarded by German consumer organization "Stiftung Warentest" in its 1st edition of 2008, forged Wusthof knives featuring the new PEtec technology produce a result which is about 20% higher.
The Technology:
- Blades are measured by a laser before sharpening
- Computer programs calculate precise sharpening angle for each blade
- Knives are then sharpened on a whetstone using precision robots
- Knives are given a final polish using a special disc
The Benefits:
- Extremely high initial cutting performance
- Exceptionally long edge retention / long service life of blade
- Optimum cutting edge along the entire length of the blade
- Unique, consistently high and reproducible quality
PEtec from Wusthof--superior sharpness for professional and home cooks!
How Wusthof Knives are Made
Wusthof knives are known for their outstanding sharpness. By honing and sharpening the knives yourself you can maintain this feeling for a lifetime of use (see "Honing and Sharpening" section below for detailed guidelines on how to do so).
The evolution of a precision forged knife
Over 40 different manufacturing steps are needed to produce a forged Wusthof knife from one solid piece of steel.
Here you will find a detailed explanation of some of the most important production steps.
1. Sheet bar of high-carbon no-stain steel
2. Precision forged piece
3. Tempered to 58-degree Rockwell
4. Polished
5. Scales of handles and rivets
6. The Wusthof Cook's knife
Types of Blades
The Right Blade for Every Purpose
The edge is the business end of a knife. It is skillfully honed by hand and incredibly sharp. For different cutting tasks different blade shapes and edges are recommended.
The Differences:
Straight-edge blade: The straight edge allows a smooth and clean cut. When carving no fibres are torn out of the meat. This edge can be used for firm and soft food like meat, vegetables and fruit.
Serrated-edge blade: The wavy or serrated edge allows an easy cut through crusty food like a traditional roast and crispy bread.
Hollow-edge blade: When cutting an air pocket is created between the hollow edge and the slice. This prevents the food from sticking to the blade and allows for finer slices.
Cleaning & Storage
Proper care for long-lasting cooking enjoyment
If you value your tools, we recommend washing your knives with warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse carefully and dry with a towel.
For proper storage we recommend the following options:
- Knife blocks in a variety of shapes, colors and configurations. The handy knife block provides protection for your blades as well as a visual compliment to your kitchen decor.
- Magnet Bars in wood, synthetic material or aluminum. Two extra strong magnet segments provide a safe, easily visible and space-saving storage option.
- Cook's cases in rolls and briefcase styles. This is the ideal method for professionals to store and transport their tools safely.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not as useful as I had hoped it would be.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wusthof Classic 3-Inch Serrated Paring Knife (Kitchen)
Bought this when it came up in my Gold Box. As a fan of the Wusthof classic line, I thought it would be a useful addition to my other knives. Yes, it is well made, earning it three stars. On the minus side, its serrated edge makes it less useful as a paring knife, as I can attest from having cut myself several times on those serrated points. For mincing, I much prefer either the smaller of my chef's knives or even a 4 inch utility knife. Unfortunately, the blade is too short and too curved to work well as a tomato slicer. Over time mine I noticed that kitchen "helpers" in the family would reach for it--the novelty factor--use it briefly, and return to an old favorite, i.e., one of the standard paring knives, the 4 inch utility knife, or one of the chef's knives. As a result, this knife has been relegated to storage with the specialty knives in a bin at the back of the drawer with other knives we use only rarely. Bottom line: For use as a dedicated bar knife for citrus, it would be fine. If you are looking for a more versatile knife, my advice is to consider other knives in this line.

"That's my knife",
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wusthof Classic 3-Inch Serrated Paring Knife (Kitchen)
This is a gem of a knife. It is new to me, but I already know that it will be the knife that I use most. It is razor sharp. The handle is very comfortable; feels like it was tailor made to fit into your hand. You know how most of us have a favorite kitchen knife that we use over and over again and we would go absolutely ballistic if somebody were to take our knife, well this is that knife. I have had several paring knives and this the the best by far. Amazing how something so small can bring such joy!

The Best Paring Knife I Have Seen,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wusthof Classic 3-Inch Serrated Paring Knife (Kitchen)
I am a former professional chef, and have always loved Wusthof knives. Over the years I have accumulated a set of them, and they are, by far, the most used knives in my kitchen. This knife, a serrated 3-inch paring knife, is particularly useful. I generally use it for dealing with fruits of different varieties, but it is useful in many other versatile ways, too. The knife is razor sharp, and holds its edge well, it is well balanced, and is dishwasher safe (though I normally hand wash it.) Wusthof knives are the best mass market knives readily available and I recommend them highly. Some people comment on the high cost of these knives, which can be a real turn off, but to these people I say that while the prices are high at first glance, these knives will far outlast any competing cheaper knife they can buy. Buy a Wusthof once, and you are set for life.
