Zelite Infinity Paring Knife | Steel | Razor Sharp | Superb Edge Retention | Stain & Corrosion Resistant Chef Knives | Leather Sheath | Alpha-Royal Japanese | 4 Inches

I was eagerly awaiting the release of the Zelite Infinity knives in the UK. I had seen these marketed on social media and was impressed by their looks. I was further impressed by the reviews these were receiving in the US. I was therefore delighted when they were finally released on Amazon UK. I ordered this knife on the Thursday they were released and they were delivered the next day, whats remarkable about this was that it was Good Friday in the UK and the delivery was free! Upon opening the Amazon box I was impressed with the quality of the packaging the knife was in and once opened the knife inside oozed quality even before you picked it up. Once in the hand the knife feels very balanced and comfortable. The 4" paring knife is a great choice for peeling, slicing, dicing, and chopping smaller vegetables and fruit. The blade slices through with very little resistance which ensures that the process of preparing food is both effortless and non-time consuming. These blades are seriously sharp and are a major upgrade to my previous knives which were cumbersome to use and blunted very quickly. Very impressive and would be a fantastic addition to even the most professional chefs kitchen.

These knives are brilliant. I bought the 4” pairing knife and the Chefs knife, and have now returned to buy the 5.5” serrated knife, the 6” utility knife, and the 7” santoku knife. Before this I only had a fairly mid-range knife set, which I thought was pretty decent, but these knives are a different level altogether. The craftsmanship is outstanding, a beautiful Damascus steel design with a full tang handle. Perfectly weighted, the knives are a pleasure to hold, but it all comes down to the blade edge. These knives are razor sharp, making anything you can think of an absolute breeze. One of the first meals I made contained butternut squash. Normally a complete arm workout, the Chef’s knife cut through it like butter. I couldn’t believe how good they were. Don’t get me wrong, if you’re the kinda guy who only uses a knife to pierce the film on your microwave mash potatoes, they’re probably a little pricey, but if you think your skills in the kitchen are a force to be reckoned with, compliment them with this set of knives, you won’t be sorry!

This Knife was a present to my wife who said that she wanted a new kitchen knife after using the 8 inch Zelite chef’s knife I got a couple of weeks before. She wanted a smaller knife as she has considerably smaller hands than myself. I wanted to wait a couple of weeks after buying the knife to review it to ensure that it is an honest review. The knife its self comes in a fantastic well packaged magnetically locking cardboard box lined with perfectly fitting foam cut-outs for the knife. It arrived as normal with a wickedly sharp 15 degree angle on the blade making it a dream to cut through any food prep. The balance of the blade is ever so tip heavy but nothing really noticeable. I am happy to say after weeks of use in the kitchen the blade has stayed factory sharp and I hope it will continue for a couple more months before I bring out my wet stones. The only negative I have is the same for this knife as its bigger brother the 8 inch chef’s knife. The engraving on the blade is a bit of an annoyance as this could be an area where bacteria can thrive if the knife is not cleaned properly. I also feel it interrupts the patina on the knife blade. This put aside it is a wonderful knife to use particularly if like my wife you have smaller hands and don’t want a larger knife like my favourite the 8 inch chef’s knife. I am looking forward to when the rest of the range gets released in the UK.

Update "17/02/22" I have now all four of these knives for 6 years and they still amaze me and yes you do have to sharpen them and thats the same for ANY knife. They still look as good now as they did 6 years ago and im so glad I bought them when I did. Being a chef for many years and having one or two of my knives stole throughout the years, I thought it was time to buy really good knives for my home. I knew that in my eyes “Zelite Infinity Knives where always sought after and expensive and having seen them used by other named chefs, I splashed the cash and purchased the four in the one lot. The steel is pure quality of course coming from Japan. The art design on the blade is unique to the family that makes them and it is beautiful to say the least. The balance is correct between the blade and the handle and its all topped off with the families own emblem inset in the handle. I have been using them now four 5 weeks and they still don’t need sharpened. You have to please be aware though, these knives are very very sharp. When I ordered these knives, I was in the middle of getting a new kitchen installed and so I thought I would have a dedicated knives drawer installed of which I have included a few images. If you want quality knives that will last for a long time, be prepared to pay for them. SIMPLE. They also come in beautiful boxes which double as hard cases and display for them “bonus”.

The knife is of very good quality steel, sharp as hell and you can see the good quality. Unfortunately, the handle is very small and even though I don't have a large hand myself, my hand is still too big, is it worth the price? Only if you have a small hand.

Habe heute dieser Messer erhalten. Verpackung ok. Optik sehr gut. Leider ist dieses Messer nicht so superscharf, wie angepriesen. Meine billigen Küchenmesser sind schärfer, kosten aber nur ein Zehntel. Damaststahl stimmt auch nicht, ist nur aufgelasert, also Schwindel. Habe es zurückgeschickt. Möchte auch keinen Ersatz haben.

Très bon couteau , prise en main aisée , je l'utilise en cuisine pour couper viandes, légumes, fromage , seulement, il a vite besoin d'être aiguisé , dommage.

غير مطابق لخمسين ٪ من الوصف يكفي لتقطيع 3 حبات من الطماطم فهو غير حاد و يحتاج إلى شحذ باستمرار إنني نادم على هذه التجربة فهناك منتجات بنصف السعر و بجودة أفضل

desde el primer momento el cuchillo bien con una buena calidad y corta bien

This 4 inch paring knife is absolutely beautiful and so functional. I own all of the Zelite products basically because after my initial purchase I fell in love with the way these things look and perform. I am a bit of a health fanatic so I am always snacking on healthy fruit and veg. Whether you are peeling an apply, cutting up a kiwi, cutting up carrots or whatever it may be, this knife is so sharp and conformable to hold the task becomes a complete pleasure. The knife has a good hefty feel to it probably because of the full tang design. It comes razor sharp right out of the box and looks amazing with a classic design handle. I look after my knives and like to have them on show in my kitchen. I chose to mount a wooden (so it does not scratch the outer surface of the blade) magnetic block in my kitchen. You would be amazed with the amount of people who have commented on my knives – I think it must be the golden rivet that attracts peoples eye haha. I view all of my Zelite Infinity knives as a lifetime investment. Yes, you can buy cheap supermarket knives for $10 and replace them every year, but if your like me and take pride in your kitchen and knives then its an awesome feeling knowing you have a beautiful set of knives that will last you for life if you care for them like I do. I do not cut on hard surfaces like glass or stone; I do not put them in the dishwasher; I do regularly hone my knives and like I said I store them safely. A few simple steps and you are the proud owner of a beautiful high performing kitchen set. I don’t know if Zelite Infinity will be releasing any more knives, but for sure I will be keen to snap up more if they are released. A great product from a great company
