HENCKELS Modernist 4-inch Paring Knife, Razor-Sharp German Engineered Informed by 100+ Years of Mastery

High-quality knife

We had bought the set of Henckels knives and loved them all. The handles are very comfortable and have a nice weight fit to them. The blades are quite sharp, so cutting is effortless, even after about a year of daily use. They wash easily, sop we don't put them in the dishwasher. We have seen no staining or rusting so far. Unfortunately, while using one of the paring knives to separate some frozen sausages, I broke off about 1 in. of the blade. Yes,, I know this is a stupid thing to do, but I was in a hurry, and ... I was very happy to find that the paring knives are a stock item, and ordered two (in case I were to forget my lesson someday). They are a perfect match to the rest of the set. I strongly recommend the full set and especially the ability to replace or extend them.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: We purchased this knife as a replacement for a knife set that we currently own. These knives are great - sharp, easy to handle, feel and look great. No issues with cutting ability. Definitely high quality and would recommend them.

Replaced the paring knife from my knife Block, after the Tip broke, with this one. Same Brand, and color scheme.

I had to get used to the feel of the handle – it’s unusual. Solid metal but finely textured for grip, almost like ultra fine sandpaper. It feels to me a bit like light static in audio – an unexpected layer. But this is an absolute dream to cut with, intelligently balanced and ultra sharp.

Completed my set my most used knife awesome

I bought new knives 30 years ago . My husband recently said we can't sharpen these knives much more, so I replaced them . Same knives 30 years newer . Thirty years of use is a very long time ! Love them !

Unfortunately I would give this pairing knive a negative star review if could. Just not one of HENCKELS better products. I love the look of this knife but it rust bad. I've hand washed and dried shortly after and it just always rusting in different parts.

My pairing knives for my 20 piece set went missing. I really wanted to replace them because it’s such a great set. So I bought the knife. I’m so glad to have it. It’s super sharp, easy to use and looks wonderful.

Accidentally threw out my original knife and was happy to find the identical replacement on amazon. Its good quality, does not rust and is very sharp.

So sturdy and sharp!

Great quality

Perfect size and weight. Keeps sharp.
