Wüsthof AMICI 3.5" Paring Knife

Precise Control for Small Ingredients

The 3.5-inch blade keeps the cutting edge close to your hand, making it easy to guide through detailed work. Its pointed tip reaches into tight spaces for removing stems, coring fruit, trimming blemishes, and making controlled decorative cuts.

The rounded Calabrian olive wood handle has natural variations in grain and color, so every knife looks slightly different. A full bolster provides a defined transition between the forged blade and handle.

Natural Olive Wood on a Daily Prep Knife

The olive wood handle distinguishes the AMICI paring knife from WÜSTHOF's synthetic-handled collections. Hand washing, immediate drying, and periodic treatment with food-grade mineral oil help maintain the wood through regular use.

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

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

The AMICI Paring Knife is designed for peeling fruit, trimming vegetables, removing stems, coring, and making detailed cuts. Its narrow pointed blade provides close control when preparing garlic, shallots, berries, citrus, and other small ingredients.

How does the AMICI Paring Knife differ from the CLASSIC version?

Both are forged WÜSTHOF paring knives made in Solingen, Germany. The AMICI features a rounded Calabrian olive wood handle with natural grain variation, while CLASSIC uses a traditional synthetic handle. The AMICI's full bolster also provides a substantial transition between blade and handle.

Does every AMICI olive wood handle look the same?

No. Calabrian olive wood has natural variations in grain, color, and pattern. Each handle has its own appearance, while retaining the same rounded shape and forged German blade construction.

How should I care for the olive wood handle?

Wash the knife by hand and towel-dry immediately. Never put it in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Periodically condition the handle with food-grade mineral oil to help maintain the natural wood.
