Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Victorinox 47508 3-1/4-Inch Paring Knife

Customer Review: Forschner 3.25 inch Parig Knife
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this to replace one of my two Whustoff paring knives (I won't admit here what I was doing when I damaged it.) I had read some time back that Cooks Illustrated really liked the Forschner boning knife so I thought I'd give their paring knife a try. It is not a Whustoff, but for the money this is an excellent little knife. A true value.

Customer Review: GREAT PARING KNIFE
Summary: 5 Stars

I use this knife all the time, it has become my favorite. It cuts my fruit like butter. it is very sharp and thin. All in all a great paring knife.

Customer Review: GREAT PRODUCT
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased this to use for my cooking and I love it. My wife complained about the purchase until she tried it and fell in love with it too. Sharp and well made.

Customer Review: Good Little Paring Knife
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a very good little paring knife. Especially for the price. I don't use any of my other cheap paring knife's any more. I love this little thing. I does feel very light but it is built pretty sturdy and the blade is sharp. Not as sharp as I expected but you can sharpen it with a stone like another reviewer mentioned and because of the composition of the blade make it as sharp as you want. It's not shiny or flashy but it will get the job done and at the cost you really can't beat it for easy of use and utility. Don't bother with any cheap paring knife when you can buy this one for about the same price and get much better quality.

Customer Review: Good knife but handle too small for comfort
Summary: 3 Stars

* probably could do with sharpening right out of the package
* good value for the price - for me, it's worth the sharpening effort

BUT

* the handle is TOO SMALL - I don't even have that big of hands (I'm a 5'8" woman in her twenties, ring finger size 7, if that means anything to you) and the handle is much too narrow. I like knives with handles that are a little rounder - this one is very rectangular.

* the blade also seems a little short, although it says clearly how long it is so I probably should have known that...

All in all, I like a paring knife I got from IKEA much better :-)
