Small, versatile, and with a slim blade and plain edge, the Wusthof Urban Farmer 4” Paring knife will come in handy often to precisely, trim, peel, slice, and cut handheld items. For those with an artistic flair who enjoy fun and interesting fruit and vegetable platters, the paring knife makes a perfect garnishing tool for carving fine and intricate patterns on a variety of foods. While it is perfect for detailed work, this knife is ideal for all small cutting tasks in the kitchen, it is truly all-purpose and, after a chef’s knife, is the most important knife in a chef’s toolkit! 

 Wusthof’s Urban Farmer line celebrates farm-fresh food, home gardening, and cooking with wholesome, healthy ingredients. Combining rustic style with modern technologies and materials, Urban Farmer knives beautifully express the collection’s farm to table ethos. The line’s designer—accomplished German designer Bjoern Berger—has committed to sustainability and environmentalism while inspiring creativity in the kitchen. Urban Farmer knives are durably crafted from a single piece of an exclusive, high-carbon, stain-free steel metal alloy and these well-balanced knives boast a full tang, exceptional edge retention, and durability. 

What visually sets the Urban Farmer knives apart from other Wusthof lines, is the handle complete with a non-slip bolster. The high-performance synthetic black bolster offers a secure grip that will instill confidence even when wet! The distinctive handle is made with sustainably grown FSC-certified European Beechwood that is heat-treated to ensure an extremely durable and water-resistant handle even though it is uncoated. Finished off with two stainless steel rivets, the Urban Farmer handles are smooth to the touch, ergonomic, and extremely comfortable to use. These knives are equally at home in the kitchen, as they are in the garden or on the urban farm!
