WÜSTHOF'S Classic Ikon Range is that bit heavier in the hand than the Classic Range. Whilst the blade is the very same, the difference is in the handle. The elegant shape of the handle is smoother in its texture and is designed for a comfortable grip. The overall style of the knife is more modern. A Paring Knife is the second most important knife to have in the kitchen. The small narrow blade tapers to a point at the tip and is easy to handle making it the perfect knife to trim, slice and peel small foodstuffs such as garlic, ginger and herbs. Cleaning and Care Tips: We recommend hand washing your knife with warm water and a sponge after use, drying and storing away. Do not put in the dishwasher.  Store your knives protected in a drawer, in a knife block or ideally on a magnetic knife rack on the wall.  Use a wooden, synthetic or plastic board to chop on. Do not chop on steel, stone, marble or glass as this will dull your blade.  After cutting through acidic foods like lemons, limes or tomatoes, wash your knife immediately and dry before storing. The acids will eat away at the steel and produce tiny spots which are very difficult to remove. Sharpen your knives using a diamond sharpener and honing steel or preferably, a whetstone.  Dimensions: 9cm
