Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Grip Colored Paring Knives, Set of 4
Customer Review: Henckels Knives -- Cheap!
Summary: 4 Stars
When I lost my precious Henckels paring knife, I never thought I could replace it with FOUR different knives for half the price. This set has been wonderful -- almost as sharp as my good knives. The only downside is that if left wet, they will show rust spots.Customer Review: fair price for the amount of knives
Summary: 4 Stars
the knives appear inexpensive but for the price for four fairly sharp knives where you can abuse and do what you want with them is a steal. once my knives are dull, i will definitely buy from this brand/line again.Customer Review: Good, easy to find knives
Summary: 4 Stars
Got these for use in the RV - the colored handles make them easy to see in the drawer - no accidents! Nice product - especially at this price.Customer Review: Size and brand confusion
Summary: 3 Stars
These knives are very sharp and sturdy. In addition to all the other reviews, I wanted to point out a few things that may not be apparent prior to purchasing:
1. The handles are all the same size and length for all four knives. If you're used to handles that are about the same length as the blade, this may come as a surprise. It's not a bad thing; it just takes some getting used to (especially with the smallest curved blue knife.)
2. The blade is on the opposite side of what a novice might first think. (I don't know why, but many people think the curved side of the blade is the sharp side. It isn't. Don't cut your fingers.)
3. There are two versions of this color four-piece paring knife set. One is made by J.A. Henckels (the higher quality brand made only in Germany) and the other by Henckels International (the value brand made in China.) They are not the same set of knives, but they look almost identical and come in similar packaging. I noticed that some of the reviewers had some negative comments, and I presume that they might have mistakenly been referring to the Henckels International version, widely available at Target, or possibly one of the many copycat versions not made by Henckels at all.
Hope this note is helpful for those looking to purchase the right set of paring knives.
Happy cooking!
Customer Review: OK, but don't expect too much!
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought these knives on a special. I got what I paid for. I would have given 2 1/2 stars if that was an option. If you have more than one person cooking at the same time, it is nice to be able to grab a knife for some quick work rather than doing time share. However, these don't hold a candle to the real deal. Oh, they are colorful :)
