Victorinox Swiss Classic 4-Inch Spear Tip, Serrated, Red Paring Knife

I like using this paring knife for cutting thick, or tough skin items such as Tomato's, Cucumbers, Oranges, Limes, Lemons and also for cutting grill cheese sandwiches. Lightweight, sharp - did I mention sharp?! I like it so much, I ordered the plain edge one for coring strawberry's, slicing cheese, slicing celery. Now, you might think that the serrated edge would be best for that, but nope. The celery has fibers running all the way through it and so the serrated edge catches just a bit on them making it slightly harder to slice through then using a straight edge paring knife. I ordered the four inch version(s) so it can double as a steak knife, however the 3.25 ones are excellent as well. They also come in a rounded edge if you want a knife that doubles as a cheese or butter spreader. No, I don't work for the company, I just like a well made, inexpensive (no, not cheap) functional knife.

Best knives. Stays sharp. We got these for our wedding 7 years ago and it’s still sharp. We decided to buy another one.

This knife is very sharp and glides through anything I cut with it. I have ordered another and went to the page of the manufacturer and ordered a different knife set from them as well. Great quality at a very reasonable price.

I love these knives!!! They cut through a lemon like a hot knife through butter (no exaggeration). I just ordered four more so we can use them as dinner knives. Thank you Victorinox!!!

Best paring knife ever - serrated or straight!!! Slicing tomatoes was a breeze. Light as a feather and solid. Easy to maneuver. And ONLY $10! Sliced like a more expensive knife. Very pleased.

It is So easy to use for everyday cutting! Lightweight and super sharp! This is my favorite brand of knives! Easy to clean or dishwasher safe! The have them in different colors and all of them look nice!

This knife is a game changer and must be bought by anyone who happens upon this product/review. I am the cook in our house and have a slight tendency to the purchasing of gadgets in my hobbies... cooking is one of them. So suffice it to say. I have a fair number of knives already. I have this same Victorinox knife in the non-serrated version and have LIKED it for years. It’s cheap, effective and “just works.” My mother-in-law and adult children all keep conspiring to use my best knives and NOT wash them so I needed a backup... in cake this purchase. This serrated option came up and had significantly more five star reviews and I couldn’t understand why. I do now!!!Here’s why EVERYONE in my house will use this knife first... even to the point of washing it if it’s dirty:1. If you’re an amateur cook, you can cut veggies, meat and everything in between uniformly without any effort or significant skill level.2. I’m not exactly certain why, but the serrations are not similar to other serrated knives I have. These “grip” even the slipperiest of things like tomatoes, meat, and recently rinsed foods.3. While it’s forgiving for non-cooks, it’s excellent for folks with knife skills too. Diving onions is usually dine with a chef’s knife but this knife is so good that I’d rather use this instead.4. It’s excellent with small things like garlic cloves, radishes, etc. if you ever wanted to thinly sliced something but worried about Messing up or slicing off the tip of your finger instead... get this knife. Your confidence level will soar and your food will look like you hired a Sous chef to prep it for you.TL;DR... buy it... NOW! I’ve never wanted to gift a knife... but this is such a good knife, it belongs in any “new home” gift kit!!!

Nothing bad to say about this knife: it's the right size, shape, and size, isn't too light or too heavy, and it cuts like a dream. And you can't beat the price. Excellent purchase!
