The World's Best German Knives

Small, versatile knife with slim blade and plain edge: this Vegetable / Larding Knife is made for cutting onions and herbs and is also useful for chopping, cleaning and decorating fruits and vegetables. With its sharp, pointed blade, this Vegetable Knife also works well as a larding knife.

After a chef's knife, the paring knife is the second-most important knife to have on hand in your kitchen. The small, versatile WÜSTHOF Classic Paring Knife has a narrow, plain-edge blade that tapers to a point at the tip, making it easy to handle while trimming, slicing, and peeling.

A classic amongst the range of knives that belong in every kitchen: as well as bread, this knife is suitable for use on hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, as well as for roasts, especially those with crackling. The concave (inwardly curved), serrated edge of the knife works like the teeth of a saw, but is much finer, so no pressure is required to cut any sort of bread and even a hard crust will allow a clean cut.

Smaller than a chef's knife and larger than a paring knife, the WÜSTHOF Classic Utility Knife is the perfect blade for a myriad of tasks. Think of this handy utility knife as a slightly longer, just-as-versatile paring knife with an aptitude for chopping shallots, onions, herbs, tender vegetables, and smaller cuts of meat.
