Questions & Answers
Some people appear to believe you asked if both edges were sharpened - That's not the case. The only sharpened edge on this knife is the tip. This knife has a "V" shaped edge due to its "double beveled" edge, which is sharpened on both sides. Yes, if you draw the sharpened edge across yourself, you will bleed easily. If you draw or push the non-bleeding area, you'll bleed. You can run a sharpened edge across yourself if you try hard enough, but it will be more painful and cause more damage. A spoon can also be used to make a bleed.
The blade is 3-inches in length. The handle is 4 inches long and 1/4 inch wide.
These knives do not come with a sheath, but they are the best! They're my favorite. It's simple to maintain and clean, and it's a good deal. I used to have a couple of different knife sets with small paring knives, but I prefer this serrated one, as well as the straight blade knives.
It's stainless steel, and I was able to put it in the dishwasher without it rusting. It's a fantastic knife with a razor-sharp edge that I adore.

A recent comparison of paring knives and was published in Cook's Magazine. I've had a Victorinox paring knife for at least ten years, and it was beginning to show its age. In a recent Cook's Magazine comparison of paring knives, Victorinox came out on top over some very expensive brands, despite being the cheapest. This knife is one of my favorites and I use it frequently. For other tasks, I'll look for one with a slightly larger blade. I would strongly suggest it.
I didn't like the way it looked when it arrived; the handle wasn't as nice as my Fibrox knives'. I don't mind; if the handle were to completely fall off, I'd replace it with a new one. I started peeling a potato with it and assumed the potatoes had gone bad and had become soft. This knife makes quick work of cutting. When cutting, it's razor sharp and there's almost no drag. When I need to order something else from Amazon, I'll most likely add another.
My wife loves this paring knife and uses it for nearly everything because it is light, easy to hold, grip, and maneuver, and it stays sharp no matter how she treats it. I was concerned that it would be too small for larger hands, but this was not the case. Surprisingly, when the handle is coated with food juice, it does not become slick.
My disposable plastic razors are the same way. br>br>This knife is almost completely devoid of substance and solidity. Please take a look at the two photos I've included. The image of a single knife is of an old OXO paring knife that my family and I used for decades and recently lost. br>br>That is how a paring knife should look, but OXO was and remains a budget brand, while the Victorinox, while admittedly sharp, is so light and the metal so thin and easily bent that it is effectively a disposable item. br>br>In the second picture, I included another old knife to demonstrate that even the cheap steak knives given away at "the filling station" a million years ago are still more substantial than this Victorinox. I doubt that these Victorinoxes will be in use for that long. br>br>Excuse me for being the skunk at the garden party, but when I buy a knife, I just expect a little more.
Okay. I'm a complete jerk. I've spent over $1,200 over the years (because I just added it up). Wusthof knives are priced at $00 each. Don't get me wrong: they're fantastic knives. I bought a 10" Victorinox Chef's knife for $40 last year after reading a review and because I am a kitchen tool junky. What the hell is going on here at 00? Because I was so impressed with the knife, I went out and bought two more for friends, and it's now my favorite food prep knife. I bought the $8 item after slaughtering some cherry tomatoes with a dull Wusthof paring knife. I'm even more in love with my Victorinox 3 1/2" serrated paring knife! Yes, I own a Wusthof tomato knife, but I was too lazy to use it. br>br>When I first took it out of the box, I thought to myself, "What a piece of crap. " This thing can cut! It's not pretty, it's very light, and it has a plastic handle, but OMG can it cut! Cucumbers as a hot knife through butter, apples as a ninja, cherry tomatoes as a surgeon For a quarter of the price, I could replace my entire Wusthof knife collection with knives that are just as good, if not better. The only minor quibble I have is that the Victorinox knives lack the heft of the Wusthofs, but that's a minor quibble considering the $850 savings. 00 bucks.
com! I saw a segment on KET's Cook's Country television program where they put a bunch of different brands of paring knives through their rigorous kitchen testing lab at a variety of price points. This one outperformed all of the others, including a $50 one! I purchased two of them, one for myself and one for a friend. Visit cookscountry. com to see the results of this test as well as all of their delicious recipes. com! On their shows, they have a segment where they test out a variety of kitchen items and tools. I was just watching when they were testing paring knives, and since all of my kitchen knives are old and dull, I decided to start with this one. This little knife's price and performance are unbeatable; it's an excellent purchase! It appeals to me.
This is the second one I have and they are greatbr>It's supper sharpbr>Can be put in the dishwasher as many times as you wantbr>br>Must be careful not to cut yourself because it's supper sharpbr>.
Victorinox are the best because of their small size and light weight, as well as their high quality. Paring knives are frequently used in my kitchen. I prefer to cut up my apples with serrated knives rather than serrated knives. I'd like to have a sheath available (either separately or as part of the knife) so that I can take one with me when I travel. I would strongly suggest it.
