Wüsthof CLASSIC 3.5" Fully Serrated Paring Knife

Small-Blade Control with a Serrated Edge

The 3.5-inch blade is easy to guide when trimming, peeling, and slicing small produce. Its narrow 0.8-inch profile and pointed tip provide access around stems, citrus membranes, garlic cloves, and other detailed areas.

The fully serrated edge grips delicate skins and firm exteriors before cutting through softer interiors. This makes it especially useful for tomatoes, soft fruit, tender vegetables, bread rolls, and other foods that can tear or compress.

Wüsthof CLASSIC 3.5" Fully Serrated Paring Knife

Why Choose a Serrated Paring Knife

A plain-edge paring knife is the better choice for smooth peeling and precision cuts. This fully serrated version is more effective when an ingredient has a delicate skin, firm exterior, or soft center that benefits from a light sawing motion.

From Our Founder

"This is the small knife to reach for when a tomato, citrus fruit, or soft roll needs a serrated edge but a bread knife is too large. The short blade keeps the cut controlled and close to the hand."

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

What is a fully serrated paring knife best used for?

Its small serrated blade is particularly effective on tomatoes, citrus, soft fruit, delicate-skinned vegetables, and small bread rolls. The teeth grip the exterior and cut through softer interiors with less downward pressure.

How does this knife differ from the regular CLASSIC 3.5" Paring Knife?

The regular paring knife has a plain edge suited to smooth peeling, precise trimming, and clean straight cuts. This fully serrated version is better when an ingredient has a delicate skin or soft interior that benefits from a gentle sawing motion.

Can I use this paring knife instead of a bread knife?

It works well for small rolls and compact baked goods, but its 3.5-inch blade is too short for most full loaves. A longer bread knife provides the reach needed for large sourdough loaves, baguettes, and substantial cakes.

How should I maintain the fully serrated cutting edge?

Wash by hand, towel-dry immediately, and store the blade safely. Serrated edges require an appropriate sharpening method, so seek specialist sharpening assistance when needed rather than using a conventional straight-edge technique.
