Overview
Wusthof forges the Classic Ikon paring knife from one piece of tempered high carbon steel, with a straight edge for precise depth control. A bolster at the blade and a second at the handle end set the balance for peeling, coring and garnishing.
The double bolster gives a forged heft and balance unusual in such a short knife. The listing says nothing about dishwasher use or warranty.
Who it's for
Cooks who garnish, core and peel get a short forged blade with a modern double bolster. Those cutting soft-skinned produce often may prefer a serrated paring knife.
Pros and cons
- One-piece forged blade

Performance notes
The front bolster supports the fingers and adds heft near the edge, while the rear bolster balances the weight in the hand. A straight edge lets you control cut depth closely when peeling or scoring.
