Henckels Knife Tips

Zwilling J.A. Henckels offers a variety of knife tip shapes for different purposes. Three shapes in particular can be distinguished.

High tip

The back of the blade is straight while the cutting edge is curved, e.g. on a boning knife. This shape permits the blade to be raised from the cutting board with a rolling action.

Center tip

Both the back of the blade and the cutting edge are gently curved, terminating in a point. With a pronounced tip like this (e.g. on a chef?s paring knife) the blade can easily be used to clean vegetables, cut fine herbs, or lard a roast.

Low tip

The back of the blade is curved while the cutting edge runs straight to the point. This shape permits a smooth, straight cutting action on a cutting board without any chopping action.
