A paring knife is the second-most important knife in the kitchen (after a chef’s knife), and the WÜSTHOF Ikon 3" Flat Cut Paring Knife proves it: a small, narrow blade that’s easy to handle for trimming, slicing, and peeling small produce like herbs, strawberries, and garlic cloves, with a flat edge that maintains more contact with the cutting board for precise, agile control.
