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-inch bird’s beak 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. With its small curved blade, this parer is perfect for peeling and slicing peaches, creating fluted mushrooms and radish rosettes, and removing blemishes from fruit and potatoes. All Calphalon knives come with a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

This is a small bladed knife. It also has a really useful handle. It is constructed of the same high quality materials of all knives in this series, and is a worthwhile addition to any kitchen. It's one of those tools that find more and more use with experience. It's a good buy.

Calphalon's line of kitchen knives have proven themselves over and over again to me. And this one continues the line. This is the perfect tool for when you can't use a peeler, and a straight knife doesn't fit (like peeling certain fruits and vegetables). The blade stays sharp, the handle fits like a glove. Simple, sturdy, elegant, and very useful.

This review is from: Calphalon Contemporary 3-Inch Bird's Beak Paring Knife (Kitchen)

For cooks with panache who believe in the right tool for the job, this parer is it. I especially appreciate the well designed handle with perfect weight and balance while the blade length and curvature are perfect for much more than just peeling a potato! Not for the careless user however, since the edge is honed to a surgical precision, and should be treated with due respect.

All together a comfortable, easy to use tool. I highly recommend it.
