Small Knife, Big Precision
A great paring knife is the unsung hero of the kitchen, and the Wusthof Performer Paring Knife 9cm proves just how powerful a small blade can be. Designed for all the fine, detailed prep that brings dishes together, this compact powerhouse lets you peel, trim, slice, and shape with total confidence and control.
Forged from a single piece of high-performance stainless steel and finished with Wusthof's deep black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, the blade glides effortlessly through ingredients while resisting heat, scratches, and acids. Razor-sharp and incredibly durable, it's made to handle everything from peeling shallots and segmenting citrus to hulling strawberries or creating decorative cuts.
The non-slip Hexagon Power Grip® handle gives you unwavering control, even during intricate work, while the full forged bolster ensures perfect balance in your hand. If you value precision in your prep, this is the knife you'll reach for every day.
