The Wusthof Classic Ikon 3-Inch Straight Paring Knife is perfect for peeling, minicing and dicing. The 3-Inch Classic Ikon Paring knife features a straight blade, with a rounded tip, which is why this style of knife is often referred to as a sheeps foot paring knife. Wusthof's Classic Ikon line of cutlery combines the age-old tradition of German craftsmanship with modern innovation for a knife that keeps the best of the past and introduces the best of today. Classic Ikon knives are forged from a proprietary blend of German steel, developed over the course of nearly two hundred years, and the razor-sharp edges are laser controlled and tested for the best possible performance. The unique contoured handle design features a classic triple-riveted look blended with a contemporary ergonomic shape that provides exceptional touch and control, making these Wusthof knives truly an extension of your arm.
