Wusthof Red Carbon Steel 2 Piece Paring and Serrated Knife Set

Since 1814, knives bearing the Wusthof name and the Trident logo have been crafted in the world's "Cutlery Capital" of Solingen, Germany. Today, in a state-of-the-art facility, that tradition of quality is ensured as old-world craftsmanship meets twenty first century production methods.

As part of Wusthof's all new Zest collection, each knife features a special blend of high-carbon German stainless steel throughout the whole length of the knife for exceptional strength and balance. Typical stamped knives are punched out like a cookie cutter. Wusthof Zest knives are Laser Cut. This intricate manufacturing process is superior to other "cookie cutter" methods as it is more precise and leaves the knives with less distortion. The Zest knives use the same steel that is used in Wusthof's other more expensive knives. Another thoughtful detail includes the handles, which are ergonomically molded and designed for a secure, comfortable grip.

The two paring knives in this set equip a kitchen for all essential "little" tasks. One knife has a 4-inch serrated blade, ideal for a crush-free cut through firm foods. The 3-inch spear point paring knife features a straight edge for close control of smaller cutting tasks. Use it for anything from decorating to peeling, slicing, mincing, and dicing a variety of fruits and vegetables.
