Why this paring knive earns its place
The Dick 1778 is part of the Wüsthof Gourmet 225th anniversary series—a lineage of German steel-forging excellence. Forged from full stainless steel and finished to a hone, this blade cuts with genuine precision. The extremely fine grind means less resistance on the product, so your prep work becomes effortless and your cuts stay clean and true.
What makes a paring knife work is balance and control. The weighted, ergonomic handle sits securely in your hand through repetitive work—the kind of work that defines a kitchen's output. At 11.4cm, this is a tool scaled for detail work: trimming, peeling, deveining, segmenting fruit. It's as comfortable doing 50 cuts as it is doing 500.
This is the kind of knife that earns its place on a prep station. Maintain it properly—hand wash, dry immediately—and it will outlast seasonal staff.
