Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro 3" Paring Knife 1002740

Elevate your culinary precision with the ZWILLING Pro 3-Inch Paring Knife, one of the most indispensable tools in any kitchen. Whether you're an experienced chef or a passionate home cook, this ultra-sharp paring knife delivers unmatched control for delicate prep work. Its compact size and razor-sharp edge make it perfect for peeling, coring, trimming, and intricate cutting tasks like segmenting citrus or creating decorative garnishes.

The ZWILLING Pro line is known for merging German engineering with innovative design, and this 3-inch paring knife is no exception. Crafted to handle the finer details of food prep, it features a uniquely designed blade that combines the best aspects of Western and Japanese knife styles. The front curve of the blade facilitates the rocking motion typically used in Western cooking, while the straight back edge lends itself to the up-and-down chopping motion favored in Japanese cuisine. This dual functionality makes the knife exceptionally versatile, especially in fast-paced or precision-driven kitchens.

One of the most notable design features of this knife is the curved bolster—a standout innovation in the ZWILLING Pro series. Unlike traditional bolsters, this curved bolster acts as an extension of your hand, naturally guiding your fingers into the ideal “professional pinch grip.” This grip style, where the thumb and index finger rest directly on the blade, provides superior control, safety, and reduces fatigue during prolonged use. Whether you're working on intricate garnishes or prepping vegetables, the bolster helps ensure comfort and accuracy every step of the way.

Engineered for long-lasting performance, the ZWILLING Pro 3-Inch Paring Knife is forged from a single piece of special formula high-carbon stainless steel using SIGMAFORGE technology. This forging process produces a blade with exceptional strength and balance, minimizing the risk of chipping or bending. The FRIODUR® blade undergoes a special ice-hardening process that increases hardness, resistance to corrosion, and edge retention—meaning the blade stays sharper longer, even with frequent use.

The blade is precision-honed and features a laser-controlled edge, ensuring the ideal cutting angle for sharpness and durability. From bolster to tip, the entire length of the blade can be used for cutting and can be resharpened easily. The knife’s full tang construction is triple riveted into the ergonomic handle, offering outstanding stability, balance, and comfort in hand. With its sleek, professional look and exceptional build quality, this knife is just as pleasing to hold as it is to use.

While this knife is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain its pristine edge and finish. Proudly made in Germany, the ZWILLING Pro 3-Inch Paring Knife represents centuries of knife-making tradition, now enhanced with modern innovation and superior craftsmanship.
