Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Fully forged from a single piece of German high-carbon stainless steel, this 3-1/2-inch knife with its narrow blade and pointed tip is ideal for cleaning, peeling, and cutting fruits and vegetables. The blade is tapered from spine to edge and from heel to tip, with a bolster providing balance and safety. Additional balance and strength come from the full tang running through the handle, which is formed of hygienic, fiberglass-reinforced poly that won't crack, split, or chip and is attached to the tang with the traditional three rivets. The high-carbon stainless-steel blade takes and holds a fine edge and it won't rust, stain, or discolor. A quality knife like this should be hand washed. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars Competant paring knife, January 14, 2007

I fall somewhere between the other two reviewers. It's not the sharpest knife ever (or if you make it really sharp, it won't hold its edge very long), but its still pretty good for the price point, and good enough for the tasks I put to it (mostly dismembering fruits and some veggies).

4.0 out of 5 stars Good work knife, November 28, 2002

While I got this knife as a gif and I don't know if it was bought at Amazon, nonetheless, I thought that a review would be helpful to potential buyers. The knife is well made and well balanced, holds its edge well, and does not stain easily. I recommend it for smaller cooking jobs where a chef's 6 or 8 inch knife would be an overkill. I also own other Calphalon's knives such as 8 inch cooking knife and like them a lot.

This is a sharp knife, and great for peeling. However, some would not like it because it cannot be washed in the dishwasher. Must hand wash and dry after use.
