Designed for kids wanting an upgrade from the Mini or just not ready for a sharp knife while allowing them to cut larger fruits and vegetables.

Product Description

The Pinch Pro is the final step in our series, designed for the child who has graduated from "helping" to truly "cooking." By the time a child reaches for the Pro, the pinch grip is second nature and their coordination is sharp—they deserve a tool that matches their dedication.

Unlike the kid-friendly serrations of the Mini and the Pinch, the Pinch Pro features a professional-grade, straight-edged blade sharpened to a precise 20-degree angle. We’ve combined our award-winning ergonomic handle with premium German-standard steel to offer a level of precision usually reserved for executive chefs.

The Pinch Pro doesn't just cut; it glides. It provides the tactile feedback and razor-sharp accuracy required for fine dicing, julienning, and delicate prep work. It is more than a knife—it is a bridge to the professional world, built for the junior chef who demands a tool as serious as their passion.

German 1.4116 Stainless Steel

Engineered to balance Hardness and Toughness. This specific alloy ensures the blade is hard enough to hold its specialized serrations through hundreds of prep sessions, yet tough enough to resist chipping or snapping if dropped.

Professional Lifetime Durability

High-impact Polyoxymethylene (POM) provides a durable, hygienic, and professional feel

Perfect Balance & Strength

Full-tang construction provides unbreakable stability and the weight of a real chef’s knife.

Hygienic "No-Gap" Build.

Unlike traditional knives with riveted wooden, the Pinch is created through a multi-step injection process. This creates a molecular bond between the steel and handle.

Versatile Slicing & Effortless Prep

Sharpened to a 20° edge, 5-inch blade offers a balance of sharpness and durability, while the hollow edge prevents food from sticking for a smoother, faster cutting experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is the Pinch Pro for?

The Pinch Pro is engineered for advanced junior chefs (Ages 6+) who have mastered knife safety and are ready for professional-grade precision. Moving beyond the kid-friendly serrations of our younger models, the Pro features a razor-sharp, straight-edged blade designed for delicate tasks like julienning and fine dicing. It is the ultimate bridge to adult cutlery, offering the high-performance feel of a chef’s knife while maintaining the ergonomic sloped bolster that ensures total control

How is the Pinch Pro different from the Pinch?

While the Pinch uses kid-friendly serrations to help grip vegetable skins, the Pinch Pro features a professional straight-edge blade. This allows for cleaner, more precise cuts like julienning and fine dicing. It also utilizes a higher grade of German-standard steel to maintain a razor-sharp edge for advanced culinary tasks.

Can my child skip the Mini and go straight to the Pro?

The Pinch Pro is intended for users who have already developed a strong foundation of knife safety and coordination. If your child is 10+ but has never used a kitchen knife before, we recommend supervised instruction to ensure they understand how to utilize the Pinch Grip guided by our ergonomic bolster.

Is the Pinch Pro a 'sharp' knife?

Yes. The Pinch Pro is a fully sharpened professional tool. We believe that for older children who have mastered the Pinch Grip, a sharp blade is actually safer because it requires less pressure to cut, reducing the risk of the knife slipping. It is designed to be the final step before they transition to adult cutlery.

Does the Pinch Pro still have the safety features of the Mini?

Absolutely. While the blade is professional-grade, the handle still features our iF Design Award-winning sloped bolster and faceted geometry. These features continue to reinforce proper finger placement and prevent the handle from twisting, ensuring your teen has maximum control even during complex prep.

How do I maintain the edge on the Pinch Pro?

Because the Pinch Pro features a straight edge rather than serrations, it can be honed and sharpened just like a professional chef’s knife. We recommend regular honing with a ceramic rod or sharpening steel to keep the 20-degree edge aligned and performing at its best.

Is the Pinch Pro dishwasher safe?

While the high-impact Polyoxymethylene (POM) handle and stainless steel are highly durable, we always recommend hand-washing the Pinch Pro. This protects the precision-sharpened edge from the harsh environment of a dishwasher, ensuring it stays sharper for longer.
