New Knife Day!

I ordered a new knife for myself about a week ago, from www.chefknivestogo.com. It's a Zwilling J.A. Henckels Professional "S" 4-inch paring knife. I bought it while on discount so it's pretty affordable for this usually expensive range from Henckels. Technically speaking, this is my second knife from Henckels, though the first one was made in Japan for the Miyabi Kaizen range. This one is authentic German steel, made in Germany. 

Upon receiving it from the very efficient DHL, I unboxed it and put it into action in the kitchen right away. I was preparing lunch, so might as well. It's definitely very sharp out of the box, with excellent fit and finish on the whole knife. Not a single flaw spotted, and all the rivets are nicely flushed with the handle. Good weight and balance on this one, which makes delicate paring jobs much more manageable. 

One of the best purchases I have made this year, and not when I was in Germany searching around for knives that I can bring home. This knife should last me for ages.
