This knife is one of the best prep knives I have ever used. The handle design fits comfortably in my hand and the blade perfectly cuts through any vegetables.

Beautiful knife with a full tang. The handle has a nice heft to it. Cuts cleanly. Huge upgrade from the knives that I have been using which were pretty and colorful until the paint started chipping off the blades! Will never gave to worry about that with this knife.

Great starter prep knife. The handle meets the blade well and provides a comfortable feel in hand. The steel is nice and durable, providing great cuts and slices for your food prep. This is a great small blade, big enough to cut through big pieces of fruit or veggies, but small enough that it’s not overly daunting of a blade size. A great knife to be able to use on a cutting board as well.

Useful for longer and larger vegetables and fruits. You will not shed a tear slicing an onion. It’s super sharp,durable and well balanced.

When I learned that a friend used a paring knife for every kitchen task, I purchased this knife for her. It’s longer than her paring so will tackle more jobs easily, but it did not intimidate her like a chef knife. She loves it. Great knife for her, great price for me.

This is a great knife simple prep work. The blade is excellent for slicing vegetables for salads, getting squash, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers ready to cook. The sharp blade makes fine slivers of herbs and thin slices of tomato. It’s a very good quality knife. I really like Henckels Classic knives; I’ve had a set for more than 20 years. These are forged knives made of quality steel. They have a triple riveted handle, a comfortable integrated bolster. Even if they aren’t made in Germany, the steel is, and their quality is unquestionable.

Classic knives are very popular because you get all the great features of the more expensive German made knives but these are manufactured in Spain so they have more of a value price. The forged bolster makes these strong, sturdy and well balanced. Made from high quality stainless steel these knives will resist corrosion and retain a nice sharp edge. I use my 5.5 inch prep knife all the time. I like that it is smaller than a chef’s knive but larger than a utility/prep knife so it can tackle all my cutting, chopping and mincing tasks that don’t need the extended reach of a longer blade.

This prep knife is great! I like that for a small knife it’s very utilitarian. Chop, dice, and slice.
Jennifer Hoeger (verified owner) –
This lighter weight Classic prep knife is one of the knives I think are essential in the kitchen. The handle is really comfortable and the steel stays mega sharp for a long time. It can easily tackle any medium-sized prep task.
Issac Lueilwitz (verified owner) –
This knife is perfect prepping helper, great for cutting and slicing not so big food. Its precision cutting edge ensure will slice through meat effortless and will chop really well. This knife works too for vegetables, bread and fruits. This Spanish made blade is fully forged construction, lightweight, flexible and durable.

Perfect for small prepping! It is easy to use and I prefer using it over the large one. I love this brand and we will be loyal customers years to come

The 5.5 Prep Knife is made of German Steel and is a very good value for an Henckles knife. I use it to cut fruit and small vegetables like carrots and celery. Good everyday knife and holds is sharpness.

Bought these for my kids (3 of them) because I LOVE MINE! Oh and I got my girlfriend on before the Christmas order!!
Sonya Beatty (verified owner) –
This is such a useful knife at a great price. The forged German steel and Spanish construction make a strong blade that is very sharp. It stays sharp for a long time and is easy to maintain. The size of the blade is perfect for all smaller prep of vegetables and herbs. I like how the handle is offset allowing me to work with it easily in hand or on a cutting board. It really fits the space in my collection between my paring knife and chefs knife well.

The Classic knife line is a value option from the Zwilling family of cutlery. Made in Spain, with European steel, the Prep knife shape is versatile and effective.
Freida Gibson (verified owner) –
Perfect size. It is my go to knife for all of my prep. Love this knife!
Roger Schinner (verified owner) –
It’s the perfect size for most anything! The edge is nice and sharp – I have to be careful not to cut myself!

The Classic line is the best kept secret around. They are value priced but made with German Steel and the knife if fully forged. They are like a cousin to top of line German knives made by Zwilling. I use this prep knife for quick cuts or chops. It’s really strong but has some flexibility too.
Arianna Schmeler (verified owner) –
This knife is awesome because it is a great value and made in Spain! The fully forged construction gives you some extra durability too.This 5.5 inch prep is wonderful for all prep needs- peeling, slicing, dicing, etc. It really makes life easier.
