Amazon.com Review
An excellent value, this four-inch hollow-edge paring knife from Henckels's International line offers above-average quality for the home chef at a moderate price. Knives from the Classic series are traditionally styled with triple-riveted black polypropylene handles, a visible full tang, and full bolster for optimum strength and balance. The blades are forged of high-carbon, no-stain steel, and are hand-honed for precision slicing, chopping, and carving.

The Japanese-style paring knife makes a great gift for the aficionado of Asian cooking. Creating air pockets and reducing friction, the hollow edge excels at producing super thin slices of vegetables or sashimi that fall neatly away from the blade. While Classic knives are technically dishwasher-safe, Henckels recommends that its cutlery be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. Made in Spain, the knife is covered by a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews

good little utility knife
This knife is a perfect little paring knife. It works well for larger veggies like beefsteak tomatoes and such. It also cuts cheese well in a pinch because of the hollow ground divots. I have generally given up on using my standard 3inch paring knife at this point and I use this knife exclusively for small jobs.
