[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this Brand when I lived in Germany. Loved it then. I bought three knives and they are the best. German craftsmanship at its best.
This knife is great for shaping and peeling in hand. The handle is very comfortable to hold. The German steel and constructed blade is slim and very sharp. It stays sharp for a long time and is easy to maintain. I like the design of the handel with the traditional three rivets with the classic Zwilling logo on the center rivet.
What appealed to me when selecting this knife is that it is very sturdy but lightweight. I prefer the lighter weight but was concerned it would be a lesser quality knife. This is not the case with the Gourmet. Its is made with the Zwilling Special Formula steel which is guaranteed for life! I love how it feels in my hand, and the edge stays nice and sharp, which makes it a dream to use in the kitchen.
This is the best paring knife I've found because of a couple of reasons. I love the handle on this knife because it is nicely curved to fit my hand. The knife is nice and light so that I can maneuver it easily. It is also super sharp to get through anything I'm cutting.
The Gourmet line is a very good line of stamped knives. They are manufactured under tight controls and precise standards at Zwilling’s factory in Solingen, Germany. They have a full tang, running from the tip to the heel of the handle making these knives sturdy and stable. The comfortable handle is solid without being heavy.
Because the composition of the steel, these knives will stay sharp and responsive with every cut. Keep the blades honed, sharpen once or twice a year and you will enjoy them each time you use them. The 4-inch paring knife, is one of the mainstays of a kitchen. It s will do all the smaller, finer work that a chef's knife cannot handle. This one is very balanced, easy to work with. Dishwasher safe, but hand wash to keep it looking new.
I love this knife for paring because the light weight lets me get right up on that blade and gives me the best control of the blade for paring! perfectly weighted and sharp as can be, this knife perfectly suits my needs for paring, and I do a lot of that!
