Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Fine craftsmanship and premium materials make Calphalon cutlery as outstanding as Calphalon pots and pans. This beautifully balanced, full-tang 3-1/2-inch paring knife is constructed of a single forged piece of high carbon, no-stain, rust-resistant steel. The hand-ground blade holds a perfect edge that sharpens more readily than regular stainless steel. Contoured for comfort, the seamless handle will not absorb moisture, crack, or chip. Each Contemporary knife is etched on the end with its name and/or size, allowing quick identification when stored in a block. Perfect for cutting apples and other fruit, this parer will soon become a daily favorite. All Calphalon knives come with a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent paring knife, October 9, 2004

I have the 8" Chef's knife from this collection and I'm quite enamored of it: good heft and balance, exquisitely sharp, easily honed, etc. I purchased this paring knife to go with it and I am quite satisfied. Originally, I gave four stars because I found the balance off; working with the knife has convinced me that it has a perfect balance and hand feel. I would change the rating to five stars if I could figure out how. If you want a good paring knife that will last you for the rest of your life, look no farther. The steel is the same top-quality German stainless used in Solingen knives, but the knife is manufactured in China. Best of both worlds!

This is my first contemporary Calphalon knife. I have both a traditional chef's knife and sentoku. I thought those two were great but, I really love this one. The handle is very comfortable and gives excellent control. It retains it's sharpness well and is great to use.

These are really nice heavy knives. I already had the 6" Chef knife that came with a pot and really like, so I decided to try another. They seem to stay sharp.
