Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 2-3/4-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Peeling Knife

Fabulous tool, non-slip handle, easy to use. We've done without for years and had empty holes in our knife block. This matched the remaining knives we had so we now have a full set. And, a big deal was that the block we already had includes a slot for a cook's scissors (and the scissors) and it seems as though most of the blocks out there now don't do this which seems a shame as that's the tool used as frequently as any (not only for the food but also for those pesky plastic packages always needing to be ripped open).

It's dandy. All my other Zwilling knives have the three bolts in the handle, so this one looks a little out of place. I realized after I bought it that this one belongs to the Zwilling line one notch below the Pro line. But the handle is nice to the touch and the knife has a gazillion uses. Just today, I used it to pick moldy raspberries out of a bad batch, using the "beak." Great for peeling vegetables and slicing, too. Got one of these for my mother-in-law, who has some arthritis in her thumbs. The blade shape and handle are ideal for cooks with sore hands.

But the blade of the one that I previously owned snapped after about 20 years.

This Henckles knife may be small, but will get the job done.The Henckles handle feels secure. Once you master the curved blade, cutting will be a breeze on fruits, vegetables and meats.All Henckels Four Star knives are made of the finest German steel. I've had my set over 20 years and it is used every day.I recommend this little knife to anyone who needs a peeling knife that cuts with precision. You won't regret this puchase.

These knives are the greatest! I use the curved fruit knife for cutting fruit, but also for so much more. After I found the kids (adult ish) using mine to open Amazon boxes and as a letter opener, I just ordered a couple more and did the same thing. Yeah, I know it’s almost sacrilegious to use a Henkels knife like this, but the curve and the sharpness makes it ideal for the “off label” use. If you don’t mind using a $50 letter opener or box cutter, try it!!! Full disclosure, I have a complete set of Henkels knives for actual kitchen use and I would not cook without them. Best in the world.
