Wüsthof CLASSIC 2 3/4" Peeling Knife
Designed to Follow Rounded Produce
The 2.75-inch blade curves inward to follow the shape of fruit and vegetables more naturally than a straight paring knife. Its compact size gives you close control when peeling in hand, removing blemishes, hollowing small ingredients, or making decorative cuts.
The plain edge cuts precisely and can be honed and sharpened as needed. A 3.5-inch handle balances the short blade without making the knife feel delicate.
Wüsthof CLASSIC 2 3/4" Peeling Knife
A Specialty Shape for Precise Peeling
A straight paring knife works across many small tasks, but the curved profile of a peeling knife is better suited to rounded ingredients. It follows the surface closely, giving you more control over the depth and direction of each cut.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
What is the curved blade of the CLASSIC Peeling Knife designed to do?
Its bird's-beak blade curves inward to follow rounded fruit and vegetables. This makes it particularly useful for peeling apples, potatoes, citrus, and other curved surfaces while removing as little usable flesh as possible.
How does a peeling knife differ from a paring knife?
A straight paring knife is more versatile for general trimming and small cutting tasks. The CLASSIC Peeling Knife has a specialized curved edge that follows rounded produce more closely, giving you better control over peeling depth and direction.
Can the WÜSTHOF CLASSIC Peeling Knife be used for decorative cuts?
Yes. Its short, pointed bird's-beak blade is useful for shaping fruit and vegetables, removing blemishes, and making small decorative cuts. The curved profile provides close control when working around rounded ingredients.
Is the 2 3/4-inch Peeling Knife forged?
Yes. This CLASSIC knife is forged in Solingen, Germany, with a 2.75-inch curved blade and a hardness of 58 HRC. Its plain cutting edge can be maintained with suitable honing and sharpening methods.
