Overview
A home kitchen prep corner gets a nimble WUSTHOF paring knife whose clip point carves and peels fruit and vegetables easily. The laser cut blade is stamped from high carbon stainless steel, and the polypropylene handle shrugs off heat.
Precision in the hand is the reason to own it, with a clip point that gets into curves. Being stamped, it is lighter and more flexible than a forged paring knife, and it is hand wash only.
Who it's for
Cooks doing close hand peeling, carving and trimming daily. Those who want heft and a bolster should look at a forged paring knife.
Pros and cons
- Clip point for carving curves
- Laser-cut precision blade
- Handle resists heat and impact
- Light and nimble

Performance notes
Sharpness and flex come from the laser cut stamped blade, which tapers from spine to edge and from heel to tip. The clip point lowers the tip line for control when carving around fruit.
