ZWILLING Pro 4-inch Paring Knife

Feels like butter in your hand. Elegant and comfortable shape with an excellent weight distribution. Cutting with it is a joy. On the expensive side but for something we use so often it’s worth it.

This is a great little paring knife. I really like the weight and shape of the handle. It holds its edge and has become a go-to knife when working in the kitchen

I have been using this brand for years, and love the weight and quality of the steel. But when I replaced some of my very old, ugly knives with new ones, I see that almost all of them have cracks in the handles, and none are more than one year old. I have never put them in the dishwasher, and only use them at home occasionally. When I search on the Internet I see that this is a very common problem, and they will replace them but it’s a very long procedure requiring me to ship the knives back to them. I’m just not willing to go through all of that. My solution is to buy global or other brands that don’t seem to have the same problem. Very sad that respected manufactures don’t care about their quality anymore.

What a difference a professional knife makes!

I like the wider width of the knife for some preparations. It’s sharp, easy to hold, and fits well in my hand. Excellent quality.

I have worked as a chief In the food service industry and this is One of my favorite knives. It is the perfect size for smaller jobs in the kitchen. Wonderfully sharp and built to last. The grip and ergonomics of the handle are perfect for me.

The pictures show both a 3" and a 4" ZWILLING J. A. Henckels Pro paring knife. Zwilling means twin in German. The logo in the picture is the twin emblem and is made in Germany. The 4" paring knife I received was from the Henckels International series. This knife had a single figure on the emblem and was made in India. Although the Henckels International series is a good quality series of knives, it is not the same quality as the Zwilling Pro series that is pictured. I returned the knife to Amazon. I have to say that although the knife was not as pictured, Amazon's return policy is amazingly simple and easy if you are near a UPS store. I would give Amazon's return policy 5 stars!

This is my third Zwilling Pro. First I bought a set of two chef’s knives. They are larger blades than I’m used to so I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to handle them. No worries! These knives are heavy, but PERFECTLY balanced so feel feather light in your hand. Plus, the design of the angled ridge in the steel where it meets the handle makes for a secure, comfortable grip. This little paring knife is razor sharp and a natural fit in the hand, easy to hold, easy to control. It’s amazing how my knife skills have improved with the right instruments! I highly recommend Zwilling Pro.
