Product Description

Amazon.com Review

You'll reach for this moderately priced knife for almost any kitchen job, like sandwich-making, that doesn't require a specialized blade. It's shaped like a paring knife (center-tip style, with curved back and edge), only longer. Though this is not Henckels' premier utility knife--it doesn't have a bolster, its blade is thinner and less strong than other models, and its handle is narrower and shallower--it will still get the job done and comes with a lifetime warranty. Hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for light utility jobs, February 1, 2005

This review is from: J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Pro 5-Inch Stainless-Steel Utility Knife (Kitchen)

An inexpensive utility knife suitable for light cutting jobs. I have used it to cut meats, poultry, vegetables, and fruits. The blade is quite thin, so it's easy to hone and sharpen. It holds an edge quite well. Great sidekick to a sturdy chef's knife; when you don't want to pull out the larger knives, and the parer is just too small.

I bought this knife based on the company name. Bad idea. Although JA Henckels usually makes great knives this is not one of them. The biggest issue is that knife is VERY flimsly. You could hurt yourself. My IKEA knife is better than this. I threw this knife away.
