Review: Not sharp as expected from A.J products. Maybe dubilcat - The price not deserve the quality
Review: I was making a favorite seafood dish the other day and SNAP! My cheap pairing knife broke into. I was really excited because this opened the door for a new pairing knife of greater quality and to me there was only one company that was getting my business. A few days prior I had seen a beautiful Henkel that not only was my favorite style but attached with a excellent price. My friends were talking one of the best and oldest knife manufacturers in the world. Henkel have been a staple for chefs and restaurants for decades. When I first used a classic 8" chef knife of their make I realized why so much attention was focused on craftsmanship. The perfect weight and a edge that needs little care very often. A few swipes with a steel and you're in business. Cutting with this pairing knife needs no pressure, the blade glides right through whatever vegetable, protein, seafood or food items that needs work. Try it, you will love this knife and all the Henkel products.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The knife in the picture is not the forged premio. Is the knife being sold the forged premio or is it the knife pictured?**
A: On the contrary, the photo is of the Forged Premio (12/19/2021). I own the knife and it’s outstanding for the price. And in response to another person’s answer, yes, it is indeed forged, not stamped.

**Q: Where is the J.A.Henckels International Forged Premio knife made?**
A: I believe they are made in China, not Germany. They are still hot drop forged hammered steel, and quality controlled by Henckels - just not made in Germany. I bought one or two for a friend and they are quite good quality, with a proper bolster and a good balance. For this price point, I think they represent a good value for money for the home cook.

**Q: What is the edge angle of this knife?**
A: I believe it's 15 per side. Call them to verify too if you like.

**Q: is this blade serated?**
A: no, mine wasn't.  I've had this knife for pushing 11 years, love it

The knives have just the right balance between the weight of the blade and the handle that makes it very comfortable to hold. The 6” knife was longer than I thought. Takes a little getting used to.
