Overview

A home cook who peels apples, trims blemishes and slices garlic gets a fully forged Henckels Classic paring knife with a triple-rivet handle. The blade is fine-edged and honed for lasting sharpness.

Forged construction with a seamless shape from blade to handle is the reason to buy, and a short plain edge handles detail work. The steel grade and hardness are not specified, and the handle is described as narrow, which small hands may prefer.

Who it's for
