Category: Paring Knife

Peeling, slicing, decorating — the Performer 3 1/2" Paring Knife is made for detailed prep work. A small knife with a big impact, it brings maximum control to your kitchen. Segment citrus, lard meat, peel shallots, trim strawberry tops. You get the idea: This knife is an essential.

Performer knives are enhanced with a deep-black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) performance finish, which makes our blades uniquely strong and durable. This finish is heat-resistant, scratchproof, and resilient to damage. No matter the conditions, it sets new standards for frictionless slicing. The non-slip Hexagon-Power-Grip© design on the handles guarantees unmatched control with every cut. A full bolster (the forged thickening between the blade and the handle) further ensures perfect weight and balance.

For those who never compromise. WÜSTHOF Performer — the knife for the perfect cut.

Hannah ★★★★★

I was skeptical a knife this small could handle larding, but the blade’s control is unreal—my rosemary slivers went in clean and even. It’s become my go-to for anything that needs precision, from peeling apples to decorating pastry.

Owen D. ★★★★★

Segmenting oranges for a salad felt effortless with this knife—the blade is just the right length for precise cuts without feeling flimsy. It handled the thin membrane on a grapefruit with zero struggle.

Ella ★★★★★

Peeling apples for a pie yesterday, I was surprised how much control this little blade gives you. The 3 1/2" size makes coring and segmenting citrus feel almost effortless, like an extension of my fingers.
