Customer Reviews

A CUT ABOVE THE REST5
It seems that everyone's kitchen drawer holds more than one paring knife - ours certainly does, and this small knife by Henckels is a favorite.

The three inch blade makes it perfect for paring whether it be a garlic clove or potato.

With a user friendly handle it fits neatly into your hand, and is easy to grip for lengthy chores.

Pop it in the dishwasher, and it's like new.

Why this is a great knife5
This is my favorite kitchen knife. The handle is perfectly shaped. If you look closely, you'll see that the handle is designed/curved so your little finger is braced against the part that juts out at the end and your index finger braces against the saddle at the base of the blade. This gives you a solid grip to manipulate the blade. This is generally true of Henckels' 4-star handles as compared to the wooden handles. I've found that I much prefer the 3" blade length to the 4" length. The 3" does everything you would do with a 4" but with more control. The shorter blade seems to flex less. You'll find yourself stuffing this knife in your pocket because of its convenient size.

The only paring knife you need5
As Julia Child reminds people all the time, a fine paring knife is a must. This one holds its tone or sharpness longer, and as others have noted its handle is perfect.

Makes an excellent gift for someone moving into their own place. While it is dishwasher safe I suggest that washing and drying after each use is better. I also would suggest you own two.
