The **Wüsthof Amici paring knife** is enhanced with a 9 cm blade and is great for the smaller cutting tasks in the kitchen. A paring knife should be a part of every kitchen because it is so versatile. It is shaped like a little chef's knife and is great for fine cutting and peeling tasks. For many the paring knife will be smallest knife, but also the most used knife in the kitchen.

## Blade made from X50CrMoV15 steel

The blade of the Amici knives is made from one piece of X50Cr15MoV-steel. This is a frequently used Western type of steel with excellent qualities. As such it can withstand rust, but at the same time it is strong enough with a hardness of 58 HRC. It is a type of steel you can also easily sharpen yourself if need be. The blade of these knives runs throughout the entire olive wood handle.

## Olive wood handle

The handle is made from stunning Calabrian olive wood. Calabria is a region in the south of Italy. The wood has a beautiful pattern that is unique to each knife, as it is a natural product. This means that the knives you see in the photos may differ from the one you receive at home. These will only be minor deviations in the pattern on the handle. To keep the handle beautiful as long as possible and not to damage it, it is important not to put the knife in the dishwasher. Wash the knives by hand after use and dry them properly.

## Wüsthof Amici kitchen knives

The starting point for Wüsthof's wonderful Amici collection was "la dolce vita": the sweet life. Good food and drinks, socialising with family and friends and feeling good about yourself. That is what Wüsthof wants to convey with this collection. The knife is more than just a tool. It symbolises the joy of cooking and being together with family and friends.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.
