Customer Reviews of Wüsthof Culinar 3-1/2-Inch Paring Knife
Everyone needs a paring knife... ...and this happens to be one of the two that I own. I received it as a gift, and though I prefer the Classic Wuesthof handles, I don't think the handle really comes into play (problem-wise) with such a small knife. <
> <
>My other paring knife is a Shun, and to be honest: as long as you keep your paring knives blisteringly sharp, you won't notice a difference between the two while you're working on small, quick tasks. <
> <
>I reground the blade of this knife (I took off the edge's shoulder), so it has a very thin edge. <
> <
>It's a great knife, and it has served me well over the 2+ years I've had it.
Excellent knife for those who want a stainless handle
First of all, let me say that I am very shocked to see two relatively negative reviews of this knife. I have had mine for several months now, and I could not be more pleased by it. This knife is constructed out of two different pieces of steel, although that really is not a problem. I used to sell knives, including the Wusthof Culinar line, and I never saw any rust on any of them. The reviewer who claimed that theirs rusted must have cleaned them improperly or purchased a singularly defective set.

>The Culinar 3.5" paring knife is perfectly balanced and extremely sharp for its size. Compared to the KAI Shun stainless 3.5" paring knife, which is the only real competitor among 3.5", non-serrated knives to this one, the Culinar is balanced better, with a more comfortable handle, although the Shun is slightly sharper. This has a more traditionally shaped blade than the Shun has, which I prefer for most paring jobs. The Shun stainless knife is very good indeed, but I like the Culinar paring knife better. I have never actually used a Henckels Twin Select (their stainless-handled line) paring knife, so I cannot comment on it, although the only one I have seen is 4 inches long rather than 3.5 inches.

>As a note about the size of this knife, I used a 4.5" knife as a paring knife before buying this one, and found the blade too long to easily control for cutting small fruits and vegetables like strawberries and garlic. Additionally, if you are looking to peel or decorate with your fruits and veggies, the shorter blade is easier to handle. Nowadays, I rarely use my 4.5" "utility" knife, and would recommend this knife as a more versatile substitute.

Actually two pieces - mine all rusted at the joint!
I really liked the look and feel of the Wusthof's Culinar line and had three pieces from it. I had only used them for a couple of weeks when they started to rust! The company leads you to believe that the Culinar knives are made from a single piece construction, but they are actually *two pieces* and there is a joint. Mine all rusted right at that joint, just from normal kitchen use. Needless to say I was very disappointed...I have switched to the Wusthof Classic line instead. I do not recommend buying the Culinar line knives.
