Amazon.com Review
With its wicked little curve and pointed tip, the 2-3/4-inch blade of this specialty knife peels fruits and vegetables with delicate precision, removes blemishes, and shapes them as desired. Unlike longer top-grade Henckels knives, which are formed by a high-tech welding process, this knife is forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel. Its handle has a full tang, and its synthetic grips are attached by three rivets. Although the knife is dishwasher-safe, it should be hand washed to protect its edge. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer  | The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (or Pro S) knife series features trustworthy quality and classic three-rivet styling--it's a line of knives admired by both professional chefs and home cooks of all skill levels.

 Excellent knife August 10, 2006

I used to watch my mom use a kife similar to this when I was a kid. I never new what it was for so when I saw it after purchasing other Henkels knives thru the years, I decided to give it a try. I use it for everything, especially peeling and cutting fruit and vegetables. A great knife and now I see why my mom used hers so much so many years ago.
The Best Knife I Own April 17, 2004

I bought a collection of Pro-S knives about a year ago and never thought this one would be the one I used the most. It is great for use as advertised - peeling, strawberries, etc. But what they don't tell you is how many other things it is useful; cutting chicken legs and thighs, cutting away the ribs from prime rib, and any task where you need to cut something you can't see. Mine dropped on the floor and the tip bent today - definately want to take care of this knife - and if it doesn't straighten out right I guarantee I'll be buying another one.
the perfect paring knife March 1, 2001

I used this knife at a friends house. The balance is great. You can tell this is a quality knife. The small tip end is great for coring strawberries. The slightly wider area by the base makes it nice for pealing thin skinned items such at potatoes. This is a must for anyone that picks strawberries to core and freeze. I liked it so much I'm purchasing one for myself. You can't get anything like this at local store.
