This is the perfect size for a versatile paring knife and the 4 Star line is the most underrated line on this sight. When a rookie comes to work in my kitchen and asks me what line of knives to invest in I send 'em here for 4 Starz. These are the knives I started with in 1979 and I still use an 8 inch chef's.
A bargain in price,indestructable, sharp, easy to keep sharp, attractive and built since 1976...timeless.

Buy this one, an 8 inch chef's, an 8 inch bread, a 5.5 inch boning knife, a 10 inch steel and the Santoku. Add more as needed. Buy 'em now!

We be givin' the max...5 mojo*z

Excellent weight and shape, strong blade, very versatile. I've had this knife for twelve years--and for several of those years, in my poor-student days, it was the only knife I owned, apart from a couple of cheap hand-me-down steak knives. Now I have a block full of Wusthof-Trident (a gift) but this Henckels is still the knife I use the most.

I keep signing onto this site because I'm hoping my favorite knife will go on sale. I love the one I have so much, I'd like to buy a couple more. This is a great knife, my favorite, the one I use most.

If I could choose only one knife for a kitchen, this would win it hands down. This knife does everything well including:

1)Shear apples. The knife can cut through apple skins like butter. It is also small and handy enough to shape cookie dough.

2)Slice through bread. I have a decent bread slicer but this knife is better at the task. It is also a great pizza slicer.

3)Slice through meat. This knife can slice through meat even better than my $100+ Shun Santoku.

If you are on a budget and can own only one knife, buy this one. Chances are, this knife is more than adequate for whatever cutlery needs you have.

While the shorter paring knives are more commoly seen, this 4" paring knife is actually a better choice for many jobs. In our kitchen it gets many times the use of either the 3" paring knife or 6" utility knife. If I could only have two knives to do everything, I would choose this 4" paring knife and my Kershaw Shun granton edge Santoku. I use both of these more than any of the rest of our knives.

The Henckels Four Star is a well regarded premium German knife line whose pros and cons have been covered endlessly over the years, so I'll not revisit them. While I love the razor edge of my Kershaw knives, I prefer the more rugged durability of the Heckels Four Star for my paring and utility knives.

Great knife. .... It's the most used knife in my kitchen. Wonderful all-purpose paring knife. And, it's dishwasher safe. I've had mine for years.

This is the best and most useful knife I have ever owned. My hands are small and I delight at a nice well balanced untensil such as this one. Excellent, everyone needs one of these if they spend any time in the kitchen !!!!!!!!!!!!

I just recently purchased this knife and I was blown away. I am used to crappy knives - you know, those hand-me-downs that always get chucked into the back of the drawer... well not anymore! This knife is very sharp and easy to maintain.

I started collecting Henckels Four-Star series because I find that the price is right and the quality is very high.

My mother-in-law just bought me a set for my birthday and these are the best knives that I have ever used! They cut so easily, if you are used to having really bad knives these are such a treat. My grandmother has a set that has lasted her many years. These really are life time knives.

In recient years I have worked on aquiring quite a selection of Henckle knives. I started with a set of cheep international series Henckle knives, but a some point needed a "step up". I purchased a single four star knife, used it for a week, and have been hooked ever since. I have used most "as seen on TV" brands... well I am still hooked on four star. The only competition they have with me is their own Pro S series. Eargonomic handles, easy to maintain, and a great design for use in the kitchen.
