Victorinox 3.25 Inch Paring Knife with Straight Edge, Spear Point, Black

We like this knife so much that we have bought it for my parents, my in-laws, and a friend already. :-)

I love this little knife. Very sharp (be careful) and handy.

Inexpensive knives that are great. My wife loves these. After I bought her a couple, she liked them so much she bought some more. They sharpen easily with just a few strokes. Handy general purpose knife.

Sharp but handle too slim

It is the right blade for small dicing and its really sharp.

I LOVE this knife. Way more than I expected to. I was frustrated with my current set of knives that got super dull within only a year or so. They weren't a terribly nice or expensive set so I decided maybe it was worth splurging on the nicer brand knives. At the cost, however, I could only afford to replace a knife here or there. So I decided to buy an expensive chef's knife from a well-known brand -- it was great and made me really want to replace at least my paring knife (those are the two I use the most) but I just couldn't, at the time, justify spending a ton of money on another knife. Then I happened across this one. So cheap but great reviews -- I had nothing to lose to give it a try.When I got it, it was really light -- too light. The plastic handle made it feel cheap. But it was razor sharp so I figured hey, it'll do until I replace everything with the really nice (expensive) knives and then this one will just become a back up. And with how cheap it was, I didn't care about putting it in the dishwasher because if it eventually rusted or dulled, I wasn't losing much money on it anyway. Six months later, it is still razor sharp and it is my favorite knife. The expensive chef's knife that I got around the same time and carefully hand wash only? It's starting to get dull... Now I'm planning to replace all my knives with the Victorinox knives instead -- I don't care that they look and feel cheap, they cut and hold up wonderfully. Function over beauty!

This knife is the highest rated paring knife by Cook’s Country on PBS. I agree with them and will buy this knife again.

I've used this brand of knives for years and they have always performed perfectly.
