As the 2nd most used knife in the kitchen, the WÜSTHOF Gourmet Grey Paring Knife is tailored for the smaller kitchen tasks when a standard cook's knife may be too large for the job at hand. The narrow blade & clip point tip design of the paring knife make it easy to peel garlic cloves, mince shallots, trim herbs or other intricate cutting. The clip point tip is best for precision tasks due to its finer point. The straight edge blade cuts smoothly through different cuts of meats, denser vegetables or fruits. The laser-cut stamped blade is constructed of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel & is triple-riveted to the Grey synthetic handle. The knives in the Gourmet Grey Collection are lighter, more economical versions of WÜSTHOF's forged knives. Craftsmanship & durability are important factors in choosing the right knife. WÜSTHOF is a family-owned company who has been manufacturing knives & cutlery for over 200 years in Solingen, Germany - also known as the "City of Blades".
The WÜSTHOF Gourmet Series is seen as the introductory line for home chefs just starting to build their cutlery collection. With a reasonable price point and riveted handles that are also used in the WÜSTHOF Classic Series, these knives are a great starting point for any cutlery enthusiast. One of the biggest benefits of the Gourmet Series is that it offers a huge range of knives and knife sets. Each knife in this line is stamped as opposed to forged and while this means they won’t retain their edge as long, WÜSTHOF makes these blades with high-quality steel as their other knives, ensuring that, with proper care, these knives can outlast their competitors. The WÜSTHOF Gourmet Series is a great choice for anyone looking for more cutlery options and are willing to care for their knives in the long term.
