Paring knife Wüsthof Classic Ikon Creme 7 cm blade, model 710495

The Wüsthof Classic Ikon Creme paring knife with a 7 cm blade is a compact precision tool designed for small, detailed cutting tasks in the kitchen. Part of the Classic Ikon family, the knife combines a short, sharp blade with an ergonomic handle to provide control when peeling, trimming, deveining, segmenting or producing fine garnishes. Its size and balance make it suitable for close, accurate work on fruits, vegetables and other small ingredients where a longer blade would be impractical.

Advantages

The short 7 cm blade offers precise tip control and reduced cutting arc for accurate paring and trimming. A full-tang construction and a shaped handle provide stable balance and a secure grip for safe, controlled work. The thin, fine edge delivers clean cuts and reliable performance on delicate tasks, while the high-quality stainless steel maintains sharpness and resists corrosion under normal kitchen use.

Suitable for

• Peeling and trimming fruits and vegetables
• Removing seeds, deveining shrimp and separating membranes
• Creating garnishes and intricate decorative cuts
• Precision tasks such as coring, paring and segmenting citrus

Key specifications

• Blade length: 7 cm for precise short-reach cutting
• Blade material: high-quality stainless steel for edge retention and corrosion resistance
• Handle: ergonomic, contoured design for secure grip and balance
• Construction: full-tang or riveted assembly for stability and durability
• Blade edge: fine, tapered profile suitable for delicate slicing and paring

How to use

Hold the knife with a comfortable grip on the handle and position the tip or belly of the blade against the item to be cut. Use short, controlled strokes when peeling or trimming, working away from your body and keeping fingers clear of the cutting path. For detail work such as deveining or coring, use the blade tip for accuracy and turn the produce as needed to maintain consistent results. After use, hand wash and dry immediately or follow manufacturer care instructions to preserve the edge and finish.

Usage recommendations

Keep the blade regularly honed for best performance and store the knife in a block or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge. Use a suitable cutting board and avoid cutting on very hard surfaces such as glass or stone. For routine maintenance, occasional professional sharpening will restore the fine edge when needed.
