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..."

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.

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.
