Description The Wusthof 1040100410 Classic Paring Knife has a spear point and a black triple-riveted handle. The length of the blade is 4 inch (10 cm). It is the traditional size and style of this paring knife. It is very versatile for use in the kitchen for paring, peeling, trimming, and dicing fruits and vegetables. Wusthof uses a single piece of chrome-molybdenum steel to forge the Wusthof 1040100120 Classic Cook’s Knife. Forging makes the metal harder so the knife stays sharp longer. This knife has a bolster (the thick metal section between the blade and the handle) which protects the fingers and gives the knife a solid, balanced feel and heft. It also has a full tang. Specifically that means the forged metal extends to the end of the handle for maximum strength and balance. Honing the Wusthof 1040100120 Classic Cook’s Knife twice and using laser to test the sharpness, Wusthof produces Wusthof 1040100120 Classic Cook’s Knife to be extremely sharp.
