Wusthof Classic Paring Knife, 4-inch (10 cm) - 4066-10 Naniwa Traditional Stones weight and edge that it

weight and edge that it can be used for mincing and chopping herbs

and it makes a cool gift because it's unusual and yet super useful

It may also improve somewhat with normal use (as it hydrates) and with regular lapping of course

And as you use the stone it's natural that it will dish (become concave) and so will need flattening

Wusthof Classic Paring Knife, 4-inch (10 cm) - 4066-10 Naniwa Traditional Stones weight and edge that itIdeal companion to a Chef's knife. A very useful all around paring knife. Slightly larger than the usual 9cm paring knife found in most collections, so it's good for someone looking for a paring knife closer to a utility knife in size and handling. This makes a great addition to a growing and versatile knife collection. A knife like this one quickly becomes a favourite "go to" knife for those many everyday tasks where a small paring knife is too small
