Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Ideal for cutting fruits, vegetables, sandwiches, and the like, this 4-inch paring knife is made from high-grade, rolled stainless steel and produced using Henckels's Sintermetal Component Technology. This process allows different grades of steel to be combined to form a single integral piece capable of withstanding extreme stress. The cutting edge features a special coating on one side that ensures prolonged sharpness without resharpening, and its full-length tang (the part of the blade that continues through to the end of the handle) gives you a better-balanced and stronger knife. Its metal bolster is shaped as a finger guard, and the polypropylene handle is nearly indestructible: impact and acid resistant, it won't fade and is dishwasher-safe. --Doree Armstrong

Very sharp, but you can't sharpen.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Henckels Twin Star Plus 4-Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Paring Knife (Kitchen)
This knife is so sharp, it's scary. Razor is a good word since you can easily shave the hair off your arm with it. It also has a permanent edge that never needs sharpening--nor can you sharpen. On the downside, the Twinstar series is incredibly limited, so you'll have an oddball set no matter what. I also prefer the 4-Star handles which are maybe less "ergonomic," but I think have a much better no-slip grip. Considering the outrageous price and since you can't sharpen the blade, I'm paranoid to use it as much as I would like to. I'm afraid that one accidental slice on the wrong material will ruin it.

This review is from: Henckels Twin Star Plus 4-Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Paring Knife (Kitchen)
My wife and I are both serious amateur cooks, and we own nothing but Henckels Pro-S knives. Steak knives, bread knives, chef's knives -- we use them all.When we read Henckels made a blade that never needed sharpening, we were intrigued, but wary. But since we needed a new utility knife, and it's the cheapest knife Henckels makes in their Twin Star Plus line, we figured it was worth the risk. Take our advice that we learned the hard way: It isn't worth it, not if you really use your good knives. The blade was razor sharp, but has dulled noticeably over the last few months. Jobs it used to breeze through now require more effort. And because of the special diamond coating on the edge, we'll never be able to sharpen the blade. Not once. Not ever. Within a year, this expensive knife will be limited to cutting the tape on Amazon packages and slicing chunks of better. Do yourself a favor, and spend the money on a good Henckels Pro-S knife. It won't be as gimmicky, but it will certainly last a lifetime.
