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.

I love this little knife, but I call it killer. I own a restaurant, and while using this little beauty sliced my hand between the thumb and finger. Needless, to say even stitches couldn't hold.... Very sharp knife... I love it, feels nice in the hand.
