Overview

A forged blade of special formula high carbon stainless steel gives this Zwilling Professional S paring knife its shape. The edge is straight, the handle is polymer, and the whole knife is a single paring blade.

Forged construction and a lifetime warranty against defects are the reasons to look at it, and a short blade suits detail work. The listing does not state hardness, and the item length field looks too long for a paring knife.

Who it's for

A home cook who does fine work such as peeling, trimming and slicing small items. Cooks wanting more reach for larger produce should look at longer knives.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Special formula steel
  • Lifetime defects warranty
Cons
  • Hardness rating not listed
  • Item length field looks wrong
  • Included components list only the knife

Performance notes

A forged blade is shaped from a single bar of steel, which adds weight and rigidity near the handle, and the high carbon content lets the edge take a sharp angle. A straight edge cuts cleanly through small items, and the polymer handle shrugs off water.
