I was trying to replace my Henckels 4” PROFESSIONAL “S”, FRUOIDUR ice hardened, 31020-100 (4”) NO STAIN, FROM SOLINGEN GERMANY. I was surprised when the knife I ordered is a HENKELS, classic, 31160-100 4” GERMAN STEEL, MADE IN SPAIN 42ZS62. The weight and hand feel of the two knives is very different (Professional - .069kg, Classic – 059kg). I was unable to locate a similar knife to the PROFESSIONAL via the US accessible Henkle website. I hope the new knife holds up as well as my Professional did and am sorry the market has driven to what feels like a lesser quality 4” knife.
The knife is fine, but what happened to my vacuum storage set? I got an email from you a few days ago saying there was a delay and you were looking into it, and that I shouldn't ask any more questions because there wouldn't be any more answers, and then silence.
I own a whole set of Zwilling. When the handle on the first pairing knife was damaged (handle melted when hubs set it on a hot burner), he immediately said, get another one! I love how it feels in my small hand and is easily sharpened.
Good knife, but doesn't hold up over time. After 10 years of light use in my home kitchen, the handle has cracked and come apart, one of the rivets has fallen out. I've only hand washed. The build quality is less than what I'd expected.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I absolutely love this paring knife. Having used many cheaper knives, I really appreciate the quality of Henckels. The knife is sharp, nicely weighted (neither too heavy nor too light), and easy to use. Highly recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this knife! It’s the perfect size to be extremely versatile around the kitchen. And it’s held up great in the few months I have had it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good quality knife and using it everyday now. Very good for small tasks like slicing citrus, chopping garlics etc. Luv the size, pretty handy.
