Product Description
The R H Forschner by Victorinox Paring Knife features high carbon, stainless steel blade, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.

 Great little knife July 25, 2010

It's sharp, small, light, and has just the right amount of flex. What more could you want in a paring knife? It doesn't hurt that Cook's Illustrated recommends it.
Wonderfully sharp knife especially for the price July 13, 2010

Over years and years of struggling to prepare vegetables with dull knives, first in my own and continually in others' kitchens, we've become somewhat eccentric about kitchen knives - collecting them, giving them away, even taking them with me (as if I were a pro chef) when I cook elsewhere.
These Victorinox knives are a delight - so sharp they're more useful than our expensive knives, and the price has meant we can have enough we can both cut and chop at the same time, plus we can give them to everyone in the family, and know that we don't have to carry our own knife with us when we go to their houses!
PS the sharpener recommended for these knives also works amazingly well for such a simple device.
 Always looking for a great knife June 9, 2010

This knife was more flimsy than I expected, with a thin, flexible blade and small handle. I expected a fibrox handle and got a thin plastic handle. I like all the other Victorinox Fibrox knives that I have bought, especially the Santoku knife. It appears the prices have jumped a lot since I bought mine, around October or November of last year. I always wash my knives by hand and dry them immediately with a dish towel, and then let them sit out a bit before putting them away, to be sure that they are dry before putting them in their sheaths. This knife looks like it rusted or became discolored like rust toward the cutting edge. It still is sharp and cuts good, but the discoloration is ugly.
Great knife, but buy the set for almost the same price May 27, 2010

Excellent knife.
However, why would you buy this when you can buy 2 more equally great knifes for almost the same price?Victorinox Cutlery 3-Piece Paring Knife Set, Black Poly Handles
 Not Quite What I Expected May 20, 2010

It's sharp. I'll give it that. But the idea that this is a 'large handle' paring knife is a joke. I order it specifically because of that feature as my wife has pretty bad arthritis in her hands. I'll keep it, but I'll be looking for something more appropriate.
