I won't stretch your credulity....This is not a Henckels 4-Star...,
This review is from: Chicago Cutlery 1040691 3-Inch Paring Knife (Kitchen)
but it is a quality brand, hefty, sharp and best of all, forged. Chicago Cutlery is producing these in China, so at 1/5 the price of the Henckels, there is still a pretty nice profit. I have found other knives in this set need a good honing after each use and may need sharpening more often. That being said, this is still a great value. I would rate it a notch above the highly rated Farberware forged knives.

1 1/2 stars.
Sorry to write a review critical of another reviewer, but there is simply no way on earth that the first reviewer has any good idea about what constitutes a good quality knife and how one feels in use. I own a small Chicago Cutlery paring knife with an unfinished wood handle and a small blade, and that knife is very sharp and one of my favorites, so I figured this one would be just as good. I figured wrong. In very stark contrast, the Centurion is junk and I almost never use it because it is so dull I do not consider it safe. Although this knife has the appearance and heft of a quality knife, it is surprisingly lacking in balance and feels somewhat awkward in use. Even worse is the blade, though. This Chicago Cutlery knife's blade is simply not able to obtain or keep a sharp edge. It came out of the factory with a dull blade and I doubt its stainless steel blade could be honed to a reasonably sharp edge - I have a diamond sharpener that had virtually no effect on it. If you try to slice a non-longer crisp apple with it, it just presses down on the skin and crushes the skin apart rather than slicing through it. It reminded me of a Swiss Army pocket knife, in fact, which if you know anything about knives, you'll understand is something that simply cannot be made sharp. Avoid this and buy one of the plastic-handled $3-4 Henckels or Victorinox paring knives instead - they are vastly superior and cheaper to boot. Or, for a real change, try one of the Kyocera ceramic paring knives. They are obviously a lot more expenisive, but you still should be able to pick one up for around thirty bucks on Amazon and you will be amazed at how incredibly sharp they are. I was able to slice a section of a grape that was transparent and a mere fraction of a millimeter thick with my Kyocera.

I have found that Chicago knives are either hit or miss depending on the knife style.This is not their greatest,but for the money it isnt bad I suppose.
