Choice little knife
I didn't think I'd ever again buy a German or French made kitchen knife: too heavy, too thick compared to Japanese knives. The reviews suggested that this knife was well made with a thinner blade and it was half the price of the next closest Japanese knife. Worth a try. Very nice knife. Light, sharp, good in the hand, and easy to clean. Initial very sharp edge has stayed sharp a long time where the French blade it replaced would have had to have been sharpened at least twice. Worth the money.

Great Paring Knife!!!
I have several knives from the 4 star collection of Henckels and have had them for years...I replaced this paring knife because I had lost mine and thought perhaps it wound up in the trash...so I bought a new one..and no sooner did it arrive then I found the missing one!...now I have two..but no biggie..they must be the most used knives in my kitchen for prep work..The other knife I love from this line is the Santuko Riveted knife...If you are looking for a great knife at a reasonable price give Henckels a try..you wont be sorry!

Impressive!
My favorite. This paring knife is heftier than most, but well balanced and has a good feel in the hand. And it's attractive in appearance! Made in Germany. I'm not sure what they mean by "twin": it is a single knife with one single-edged blade (just like your average kitchen knife). Unlike many knives, however, the haft end of the blade thickens gradually and meets the end of the handle flush, rather than having the thin blade inserted into the handle. There must also be more of the blade steel that goes into the handle, since the balance point of the knife is about midlength. In general shape, it reminds me of a hunting knife my dad used to have.
