Amazon.com Review:
Slice crisp slivers of Bosc pear and creamy Brie on a spring picnic with this quality paring knife from Victorinox. The original manufacturer of Swiss Army Knives, Victorinox has crafted high-quality cutlery in Switzerland since 1884. This versatile 3-1/4-inch paring knife cuts apples, cheese, carrots, and more--in the home kitchen or roadside. Hand-finished by the skilled cutlers at Victorinox, the blade is made of high-carbon stainless steel for hygiene, balance, and permanence. It resists rusting, staining, and pitting while maintaining sharpness. The blade is also stamped from a single sheet, and tempered via a unique procedure that creates durable edges able to withstand years of resharpening. After tempering, the blade is ground, polished, etched with the Victorinox emblem, and finished. The blade is serrated for efficient slicing, and a polypropylene handle offers users a comfortable, dependable grip. Victorinox's included BladeSafe protector covers the blade and locks to protect hands from harm. This item measures 13.6 by 3.9 by 1.5 inches, weighs one pound, and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Jessica Reuling

Great all-around knife:
I purchased one of these a few years ago. Even though I regularly use it against stoneware, it's as sharp today as when I purchased it. The blade is thin, but made from high quality steel. I liked it so much that I bought 3 more. I started using them as steak knives and for anything that required more cuttting power than my regular knives. Now I have 8 of them, and I cannot tell the oldest knife from the newest. They are not fancy, but they work very well, the handle is comfortable and dishwasher safe, and the price is right.

Exellent steak knife:
I live on the aleutian chain. We have a huge commercial fishing industry here. Commercial fishermen use these victorinox knives for everyday use. This is the preferred knife. Usually when they return home they buy a whole bunch of them and send them to family for christmas as steak knives. At our house we constantly are using them as well as the Santoku knife. They are great enough for the entire commercial fishing industry they should be good enough for you.

Best knife ever!!:
We originally bought several of these knives in Germany in 1982. We have not bought anything else since! We still have the original knives we bought, but were able to buy several additional since we moved to Texas 6 yrs. ago.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!:
I LOVE THIS LITTLE KNIFE!!! And I mean to get more... Like the bread knife and the santoku blade. I got my first one at my local health food store in California, and what a little gem! Somehow, I lost it, and got this replacement. Now everything is good in my little chopping world. Thank you Amazon for hosting so many retailers. Makes it easier to find my stuff. Thank you Allsparetools as well.
