[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So perfectly weighted and balanced, I no longer fear not being able to wrangle a super-sharp knife with my small hands. Henckels craftsmanship is outstanding, with thoughtful design decisions that make using, controlling and directing this small version of a chef's knife a pleasure. It has now replaced my unwieldy larger one that always seemed to seek out my fingertips. As a pianist, my most precious assets are once again safe in the kitchen!
