Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four-Star Paring Knife

This is a great paring knife. I've owned a lot of different zwilling knife lines over the years and they recommend handwashing. I am of the mind that you should follow those directions to keep them looking brand new.I will say that these Twin Four Star IIs are probably the most dishwasher friendly knives out there. They are autclavable as I understand. I've had these in the dishwasher many times and they still look brand new which is more than can be said for my cronidurs.This paring knife is sharp, stays sharp and is the perfect length for paring. Very nicely balanced and easy to hold. Every kitchen should have one. They are pricey but they are quality.

This knife is very good at cutting things. Here's my list of pros and cons about this great knife:Pros:- Small and knifey.- Cuts many things very well, including (but not limited to) broccoli, carrots, slow fingers, radishes and sausage.- It has a shiny silver end that looks great in a knife block. Your friends will say "wow, that's a shiny-ended knife in your knife block"Cons:- You might cut yourself, please be careful.- It isn't very good with cutting things like steak. You really want a longer knife. Seriously, you'll just make a mess of the steak, and might hurt yourself in the process.- Does not fit well in pockets, particularly front and back pockets.I would buy this knife again, especially if I wanted to cut things.

Great quality. These knives will last a lifetime. Cutting is a breeze- I never knew what I was missing until I purchased quality knives.Note: Zwilling J.A. Henckels twin four star knives are made in Germany. They are identified by the twin logo. Do not confuse these with Henckels International knives. They are made by the same company, but are made differently, and come at a cheaper price. They are identified by the single man logo, not the twin.

I am sure this is a very fine knife and I would like to have a drawer full of them, but $55.00 each? Really? What does it do that a $15.00 knife won't do?

We lost the parking knife in our 5 star set. This is just as fine of a knife as my favorite one that is lost. Superb! Well balanced and holds an edge.

ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS are the best kitchen knives and are as expected pricey. Not to be confused with J.A. HENCKELS knives which are of lower quality.

Well-balanced. Easy to work with. Great quality!
