Overview
Wusthof forges the Classic peeling knife with a short stainless blade sized for peeling and slicing fruit and vegetables in the hand. A black plastic handle forms the grip behind it.
Control is the reason to choose a blade this short, since the hand stays close to the edge while peeling round produce. The listing leaves out warranty and care details, so those have to be confirmed with the maker.
Who it's for
Cooks who trim and peel fruit and vegetables over a bowl will reach for it most. People wanting an all-round knife for cutting board tasks should look at a longer blade.
Pros and cons
- Short blade gives close control
- Forged stainless steel construction
- Light for detailed in-hand work
- Sized for peeling and slicing produce
- Warranty not listed
- Too short for board chopping
Performance notes
Cutting control comes from the short blade, which puts the edge close to the thumb for curved paring cuts. Edge life depends on regular honing and careful washing, neither of which the listing covers.
