Nice blades, undersized handles:
I ordered this set after receiving my Forschner Victorinox Fibrox chef's knife, hoping it would be the same=quality product. I love my chef's knife! I was wrong. Yes, the blades are great -- exactly as described by America's Test Kitchen. The handles are woefully undersized! I have trouble using them because they're so difficult to grip. I'm hoping Victorinox redesigns the handles on these!

So nice to have sharp knives again:
I had been using my Victorinox steak knives for all my cutting needs because I can't be bothered to get out my huge cooking knives and have to clean them afterward (yes, I am that lazy). I finally decided to get some knives for paring, etc. that I can throw in the dishwasher. The first time I used the paring knife in this set I actually cut my thumb because they are so much sharper than what I had been using (yes, I have that horrible habit of cutting towards my thumb and not away). Anyway, I was pretty impressed. This is a good brand, and this is a nice little set.

Tiny handles:
Blades are of good steel and well shaped but handles are slippery plastic. Much prefer the large textured grip on the 4" Victorinox parer.

Awesome paring knives:
I have had my set of "Swiss Army" paring knives (in red) for something like 15 years. I have always called them my "ultimate paring knives." The serrated knife is by far my favorite for slicing up fruit and other small tasks. It's amazing they are still very sharp and cut perfectly after so long. I just discovered them here on Amazon, I haven't seen them for sale for a long time. You can't really go wrong with these knives.
