 A CUT ABOVE THE RESTJan 05, 2003
By Gail Cooke
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 knifeJan 12, 2001
By Reviewer
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 Amazonprice is a bargain...

The only paring knife you needJun 15, 2001

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.

Henckels: A cut above the restSep 14, 2000
I have used Henckels knives for over ten years. They have excellent balance and feel great in my hand. With proper care, the edge stays keen for a long time. I currently have two 3" paring knives and can honestly say that they are the most used knives in a kitchen, and Henckels makes the best. You'll love it!

Henckels 4 star gets 5 starsJun 07, 2003
By Rick V

About 5 years ago I got into cooking stir fry a little bit and found that cutting carrots, onions and many other vegitables was quite a chore with the cheap selection of knives that my kitchen was stocked with. I had to get sometimes near paper thin slices of various ingredients and there was no way even the best knife sold by Target could stack up to the task. I went to a real cookware store and purchased this knife and the 14" chefs knife for starters. The first slice through an onion I knew where the extra money goes, some of it is for the name, but the rest is all quality. These knives will amaze you with how well they feel with their perfect balance and with a little work, you can get the blade sharp enough to shave with. When I held the chefs knife balanced on a tomato and just pulled, the weight of the knife sliced through it with a clean stroke. The paring knife is handy for so many more things than just paring (which it does quite well), I've used it more than once as a steak knife. For some reason I cant stand serrated edges anymore. Cut all the coke cans you want with your Ginsu, but leave the real jobs to a real knife.
