Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 4-Inch High-Carbon Stainless-Steel Paring Knife

This is a great knife. It stays sharp for a long time. It fits my hand and makes cutting vegetables so easy.

Very beautiful and useful knife.

Love it, it is my second knife from this company , it’s very comfortable to hold and to cut vegetables/ fruits.It’s very sharp ( so be careful) the price was also affordable, so I bought one more 😊Definitely recommend to friends and family!

Love this knife. Holds a sharp edge, fits perfectly into my hand, easy to sharpen, easy to clean, good grip. Bought a new one because someone accidentally got rid of the last one. With this an an 8" or 9" chefs knife and a bread knife, you've got about 95% of everything covered.

There is little bevel on the blade to show which side is sharp and the blade is spear shaped. I put a sharpie mark on the back of the blade to keep tabs on sharp side. I work in a commercial kitchen and this might have to be returned because it isn't safe. I might grind a bevel on one side, but this feels like a pretty big oversight from a professional blade company. I work between fast and moderate speeds and if I can't trust a knife to be pointed the correct way when grasping the handle or glancing at it quickly it is a danger to use.That said, the blade is well made, sharp out of the package, stylish, lightweight and mostly functional. I have 5 Henkels in my collection and thought to try the true Zwilling line out. And we'll see how that works out from a commercial kitchen workers point of view. I'm sure it's just this specific knife design that was why it was also relatively affordable. I might take it home to use, but I don't need another paring knife at home...

This is the perfect all purpose kitchen knife for me. It’s sharp and sharpens easily. Dishwasher safe. Very pleased.

Quality product - favorite kitchen knife

Context: My wife and I are students, and although we have wanted to own a better set of knives than the cheap one we got a few years ago (sitting there smugly in their deceptively fancy-looking wooden block, butter knives masquerading as real kitchen knives), we don't have the cash to spring for a swanky, high quality set now.When I found these they seemed like a perfect way to upgrade for the time being. I got them a few weeks ago and was immediately impressed. They're surprisingly sturdy for how inexpensive they are. Unsurprisingly, the blades seem very high quality. The plastic handles are comfortable (and make me question why I feel like at some point I need knives with real wooden handles). Overall fantastic value, especially when you consider that at the time I'm writing this they're ~$23 (use camelcamelcamel or some other online resource if you want to find out what the price trend is over time).This morning I was using one of them to cut cantaloupe, and I'm used to using the rind itself as a guide to gently steering the knife. I found this to be slightly challenging since the blade cut through the rind itself just about as easily as the inside. Not bad for a knife that costs less than $6. While I've had to adjust my cantaloupe cutting technique, I feel like I can't complain--I wanted sharp, quality knives for a low price. Too sharp? Too high quality? Too inexpensive? My bag of gold is too heavy?Seriously, I'm impressed. It has me seriously reconsidering whether I ever want or need a fancy knife set or whether the far less expensive plastic handle variety (like these and the victorinox fibrox forschner blade knives) is the best choice.One final note: I almost bought the J.A. Henckels International paring set J.A. Henckels International 3-Piece Paring Knife Set, Multicolored until I found out that INTERNATIONAL is code for inferior quality and aren't at all the same as the Zwilling J.A. Henckels ones. If you're looking at J.A. Henckels knives you are probably hoping for a high quality knife--avoid any of the Henckels knives labeled INTERNATIONAL.
