This Paring Knives give to us some advantages, like this :
1. a great, great knife
I really love this knife, especially the handle. It form fits into my palm and has a decent satisfying heft to it that some of my larger chef's knives just don't have. When I'm looking for a knife, I'm looking for this one every time. It's also managed to keep a good edge for quite a long time. I think you'll be happy if you buy this one, and if you're like me, you may even want to replace all of your knives with this line. Can't recommend it highly enough.

2. Excellent Professional Knife
I have older (1996) Henckels Twin Star knives. They were the first knives to feature the one size ergonomic handle regardless of blade length. Awesome handle, but these knives also featured ceramic coated blades that do not need sharpening. They were the best knives at the time of purchasing and also wildly expensive. After 12 years of commercial/home use these knives are still sharp but I still don't like them...nobody does and that's why they don't make them anymore. But the handle was amazing and is still used in top of the line Henckels knives.

The Twin Cuisine line is the best knife by Henckels except for the Twin Select which is basically the same (same price) except for a complete stainless handle, and the Twin Cermax which is a special Iron Chef edition that is for the Rich chefs with rich pockets. I'm talking $250/knife here. It's the Rolls Royce Limited Edition of knives...nobody will be buying these.

Nice knife, very substantial
This is a great knife, after trying many paring knives I chose this one. I love the way it has a full size handle, most of my knives are from Shun but their paring knives have handles that are too small and uncomfortable to me, whereas in this series the handles are all nearly the same size.

Also this knife has considerable heft for a paring knife, all of the knives in the twin cuisine series are quite heavy, with much of the weight stemming from the full tang handle. In the case of the paring knife I think this is great, but I think it throws off the balance of some of the larger knives such as the chefs knife and santoku of this series. But of course knife preference is very subjective so I would recommend feeling and trying them out in person.
