ZWILLINGProfessional "S" Paring knife, 10cm, Silver/Black

I love cooking and wanted to invest in a couple of high quality knives to last me years to come. I was tired of sawing through vegetables and fruit. I chose Zwilling as they're a reputable German brand that are easy to get in the UK and have a lifetime guarantee. The knives are cheaper on Amazon than on their official website which is perplexing but good, I suppose. I chose a santoku knife and this paring knife and figured most of my needs would be covered with these two knives; the santoku for general vegetable and meat cutting, and the paring knife for fruit and vegetables and anything that requires a little more precision and finesse. The knife was a dream to use from the first time, especially after using my mum's terrible knives that were probably purchased at least 10 years ago from what I can remember and have never been sharpened. Admittedly, this knife wasn't quite as sharp as I expected it to be but it is still very sharp. My expectations might have been swayed by videos of ultra sharp knives slicing transparent slices of tomatoes and cutting through paper with no pressure at all. If you want this level of sharpness, I'm sure you can achieve it yourself when you come to sharpen the knife. All in all, it's a great knife that feels good in my handy, easy and stable to use and I look forward to using it for many years to come.

Reasonably priced quality kitchen knife. Bought after getting fed up with cheap blades that are difficult to get really sharp and don't keep their edges. Looking to purchase more of this range.

Based on experience from the three piece set (review here: Henckels Professional S Knives, 3 Piece Set, consisting of an 8cm Vegetable, 16cm Slicing and 20cm Chef's Knife) I can highly recommend this knife.I bought this individual blade as a replacement for the one from that set (broke after I managed to throw onto a stone floor and then jump on - don't ask)!If you are looking for a sharp paring knife that stays sharp, hit the checkout, if your other knives are not quite as good, have a look at the three piece set before purchasing.

Great knife, wouldn’t change a thing about it

Now that Henckels have a cheaper range the Professional S is difficult to replace.

This is an excellent paring knife and I would strongly recommend it to anyone wanting a high quality knife. It's expensive but worth every penny. You pay for what you get. The best

All good as expected

This really is a wonderful and useful knife. It's expensive but it's sooooo much better than the cheaper alternatives. Sharp and it fits nicely in the hand.
