Victorinox 3.25 Inch Swiss Classic Paring Knife with Straight Edge, Spear Point, Green

So, my poor 50 year old paring knife finally bit the dust. I used it every day.. it was the perfect size and weight and balance for my hand. My son took a chance and after he spent time researching paring knives both expensive and inexpensive.. bought me 3 knives. 2 of them are HENCKELS, which are very nice but this is my go to favorite. Once I got used to it being so lightweight, it’s comfortable and easy to use and sharp. You can slice super thin slices of onion easily, you can pare and apple easily, whether your slicing using a cutting board or paring potatoes or apples in the hand.. this little knife works very well. Looks like a little cheapie but it’s pretty powerful. Granted I’ve only been using it a month and a half so I don’t know how long it will keep its edge but I liked it so much I bought one for my best friend.

Sharp. Does the job.Not the fanciest knife in the block, but it's a good value for the price.The metal is somewhat "thin" - it's not a hatchet or a cleaver, so it's not a good choice for chopping wood or whittling toy boats.But for slicing tomatoes and mincing garlic, the physical aspects are an advantage.The Victorinox is a great replacement for an older paring knife. Very satisfied with this purchase.

This is a handy, lightweight and very sharp little paring knife. It’s a perfect knife for my tween daughter to use as it fits her hand and is easy to cut with. She likes to have her own knife and has been very careful with it enjoying the ease with which is slices through things she used to have to saw.

Simple, light, not bulky, easy to handle, stays sharp, does not rust. Less is better...don't get something heavy or big.

I have Victorinox knives and really like them. This paring knife is nice and sharp. I wish the handle were sturdier.

The Victorinox Swiss Classic is not the nicest, hardest, or best paring knife on Amazon, but I think it is the best buy among paring knives on Amazon. It arrived super sharp. It slices fast and it sits great in the hand. It won't last as many years as a forged knife, but for this price I can go through ten Victorinox in the lifetime of one expensive forged knife and still have moolah left over for a cutting board.

Sharp, easy to clean, not expensive. It is just what I need for a family with a lot of cooks grabbing paring knives!

Sharp and handy to have!
