Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The super-sharp 3-inch cutting edge and ergonomic handle make this a top-notch paring knife. Forged in Solingen, Germany, of a combination of ice-hardened carbon and stainless steel for edge retention, rust-resistance, and durability, this versatile little knife ends up doing almost all the knife-work you'd rather not--or can't--do with your chef's knife: peeling, cutting, shaping, and prepping fruit, veggies, and meat.
When it is finally time to sharpen the slim edge of this knife, worry not, for it lends itself well to both a sharpening stone and steel. Once you've achieved the edge you want, a few quick sweeps along a steel each time you use the knife should keep the edge in fine condition. The ergonomic polypropylene handle lies comfortably in your hand, facilitating strain-free use; the metal bolster acts as a finger-guard; and the blade, bolster, and tang are fused into a seamless piece for easy handling and balance. The absence of rivets and recesses in the synthetic handle allows for dishwasher use. Finally! Still, the best way to care for this knife is to hand wash it with a mild soap, rinse it well, and then immediately wipe it dry. --Marcela Broussard

TWIN® Five Star knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered. |
A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
TWIN® Five Star knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, TWIN® Five Star knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, TWIN® Five Star knives use J.A. Henckels’ Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.
It's All in The Grip:
 | The Five Star® series features high impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps. These ergonomic handles are break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast. In addition, the super bolster provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance. |

Small knife for big hands,
By Stephen Foster (Seattle, WA United States, via Scotland) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 3-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Paring Knife (Kitchen)
This knife has been a revelation to me. I use my 8" and 10" chef's knives for almost everything because small knives are uncomfortable and awkward. Now I know it isn't the small knives I dislike -- it's the small handles!In the two weeks since I first picked up this one, it has (almost -- let's not get TOO carried away) become my favourite knife. The heft and balance are gorgeous, a completely natural fit in my hand. Of the Henckels handles, I would recommend the five-star style for this knife because the blade is automatically positioned at the best cutting angle. With a knife like this, I could even see me turning out carrot swans and radish roses: "What's that, dear? When's dinner? Oh, I forgot..."

Excellent Blade,

This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 3-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Paring Knife (Kitchen)
J.A. Henckels makes superb cutlery and this knife is no exception. Comfortable grip and nice weight balance. The 3" blade is much more nimble than the 4" paring knife. You cannot go wrong with this knife.

What a Great Knife,
By Nancy (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 3-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Paring Knife (Kitchen)
I just received this knife yesterday from Amazon.com The handle is wonderful. Perfectly shaped. I also own a Henkels 3 inch with a different handle, but this is far superior. My husband was also impressed with the way it molded into his hand. I would definitely recommend this knife for comfort and ease of use.
