Product Description

Classically shaped (center-tip style, with curved back and edge), this knife comes in handy at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the afternoons, when no one is looking, it'll slice open a package. Henckels' International Classic is a moderately priced cutlery line made in countries other than the company's home of Germany. The steel is of lesser quality than that used in its premier lines. Also, the handles are narrower and shallower--which the small-handed might appreciate. While this parer is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

First, I preface my review by stating I am not a professional chef, nor am I a very experienced cook, but in fact I am a novice who enjoys learning to cook. My parents have the entire set of the same Henckels International Classic set and thus this is the only set I had ever really used for most of my short cooking life. I presumed all knives were like this and this is the norm. Well, I recently moved and also recently had been cooking at friends and family's houses who don't have this set of knives...well let me just say, I now know the importance of a good set of knives. The knives cut cleanly and easily, leaving clumsy people like myself less opportunity to injure themselves. So, one of my first purchases in my own place was of course the same set of Henkels International Classic knives that I had "grown up on." (The store near me didn't have a complete set, so I bought this little paring knife essentially to complete the set.)
I should also say that in choosing a set of knives, I called the Henkels company to ask about the difference between this set and the Henkel Pro or 4 star. I was told that the difference is in the weight and that this set is a little lighter than the pro and also that this set is designed in Germany but built in Spain. The staff was very friendly and told me honestly that unless I was a professional chef or professional cook that I really did not need to spend almost double the money on the pro and that the international set would be quite sufficient and perhaps even more appropriate.
I would recommend this set and this company to anyone and everyone especially the novice...because good and safe cooking starts with a good set of knives.
BTW I don't compliment companies easily.

Henckels is known for making quality knives and that quality is even evident in this less expensive line of knives. I always hesitated to spend $20-$30 on a paring knife, but no more! I have been using this knife daily for nearly two years. I have others, but always pull this one out. The size is perfect and it's easy to handle. The notch formed into the end of the handle keeps it from slipping out of your hand, especially when working in water in the sink. Occassional sharpening keeps it like new.

This knife was bought for me by my husband from my wish list for Christmas to replace my old Henckels that accidentally got broken (trust me it took alot!) It is much heftier than the old one and took a few uses to get used to, but this knife is GREAT and for the price, just can't be beat. I'm one to take my knife with me when I travel, as I tend to cut myself when using "foreign" (Inlaw's) knives. So this one will be now travelling with me every summer and of course is my "daily driver"!!
Love, love, love this knife!!
Love, love, love this knife!!

Great knife.
Over the Christmas holidays, a guest tossed my 4" Henckels paring knife into the trash, or so they thought, and replaced it with this one. Read more

it is a good knife but it is not the design I thought it was.
I have a different style that seems to be not made for sale anymore, so to replace each knife would cost much more than just buying a new set some where on sale. Read more

Great Paring knife
This is a great quality knife with a sharp blade. It's an ideal paring knife. I have a 10 piece set which I've had for years, and I love the knives.

Great knife
The biggest problem with this, be careful, it's so sharp it's easy to cut yourself:-) Very useful knife. Remember to use a cutting board.

A welcome addition to my Henckel collection
