Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels International Classic 2-1/2-Inch peeler
Customer Review: Not a standout but a decent knife for the price.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is from Henckels' mid range line, and the finish on this knife, both metal and the handle, definitely does not compare to the Twin Pro-S knives. Of course, this knife is priced less than half of the Twin Pro-S peeler also.
Knives are one of those purchases, you often get what you pay for. I usually save up for the most expensive knives that I can afford, but for a specialty knife like this, it made sense for me to spend less since it's not something I would use every day. This knife has forged blade, is sharp, and fits my hand rather well, so it has a quality level definitely above the cheap $10 knives. For $20 or so, I think this is a better buy over cheap junks and $50+ high end knives.
Finally, for those who are wondering if a curved blade knife like this a worthwhile purchase at all, I have to say... maybe. If you don't have a quality pairing knife yet, get that instead of this. If you already have a quality pairer, well it's a nice knife to have though hardly a essential one. I like it for peeling fruits, and it's good for scraping thin skins off things like ginger. Still, I probably won't rush out to get a replacement if I were to break or misplace this knife.
