Wüsthof PARTNER 3.5" Paring Knife

Control for Small and Detailed Prep

The 3.5-inch blade is compact enough for peeling and trimming in hand while providing the pointed tip needed for precise cuts on the board. Its narrow profile works well with garlic cloves, shallots, berries, apples, citrus, and small vegetables.

The forged half bolster adds balance without blocking the heel of the cutting edge. A full tang extends through the ergonomic handle for stability and a secure grip.

Wüsthof PARTNER 3.5" Paring Knife

The Detail Knife Beside Your Chef's Knife

A paring knife handles the small work a broad chef's blade cannot do comfortably. The PARTNER combines that compact profile with forged construction, a full tang, and an edge that can be honed and sharpened as it sees regular use.

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

What is the WÜSTHOF PARTNER 3.5" Paring Knife best used for?

The short, pointed blade is designed for peeling fruit, trimming vegetables, removing stems, and preparing garlic, shallots, berries, and other small ingredients. It provides close control for work that would be awkward with a chef's knife.

How does the PARTNER Paring Knife differ from a chef's knife?

The paring knife has a compact blade designed for small, precise cuts and controlled in-hand preparation. A chef's knife has a broader, longer blade for chopping vegetables, mincing larger quantities of herbs, and general cutting-board work.

What is the advantage of the PARTNER half bolster?

The forged half bolster provides a balanced transition between blade and handle without covering the heel of the cutting edge. This allows the complete plain edge to be maintained through honing and sharpening.

Is the PARTNER Paring Knife suitable for everyday use?

Yes. It has a fully forged blade, full-tang construction, an ergonomic handle, and steel hardened to 58 HRC. These features provide stable handling for regular peeling, trimming, and detailed preparation.
