A very nice Made in China knock-off of the original 102S out of production Chicago Cutlery knife. A great little gift item or addition to your own kitchen.


Not quite as sharp or as well-made as the original. Only very knowledgeable would be able to tell the difference as there is no country of origin on this knife or on the original.

Made even better by 4 for 3 special offer.

I do a lot of cooking, and this knife is one of the best cutting knives I have. I use it to chop vegetables, peel apples, potatoes, etc. It is very sharp and has lasted a long time. I even prefer to use it over any of the larger knives I have.

I would recommend this knife to everyone - the occasional cook to the top chef. It keeps a sharp edge, is very balanced, is a handy size and useful. I am always reaching for it.

THis is the only knife I own that can actually make carrot sticks. It has a very thing and flexible blade that is wonderful. I had my first one for 10 years and it is as sharp as the day I bought it. Great product and top of my wedding gift list for family members.

I have used this paring knife for years and then discovered that I had accidentally thrown it in the trash with the peelings. I then searched the local stores for a similar paring knife but to no avail. This knife is a perfect size for me and one that I can easily handle. It stays sharp and is perfect for peeling potatoes, carrots, apples, etc. I finally found it on Amazon at a great price and bought 3 of them!

These are absolutely the greatest little knives you can have in the working kitchen. They're well balanced, easy to sharpen, stay sharpe, and just look like they're begging to be put to work. I have a drawer full since friends seem to "want one of those" when they see it in action. Great pricing as well since they run about $10 when you can find them in a store.

It's nothing fancy...just a sharpened blade in a walnut handle. The blade, though, is sharp, well shaped and the knife is very easy to hold and use.
Incidentally, this knife seems to have attracted quite a following...used samples of the older version, stamped "102S" on the handle, sell consistently on eBay for more than this one does when new.

We received a set of Chicago Cutlery as a wedding gift - 28 years ago. (We were 20, had no furniture, and this was very very cool for us at the time - very fancy!)

Fast-forward 28 years, multiple moves, two boys. The Chicago Cutlery is still hanging in there, still looks great, still holds an edge. We had to replace a couple over the years (mostly due to kiddos and "prying things" with the tips.)

This was a replacement. Looked/felt/cut just like the original, and matched all its peers in the drawer.

Thank you Chicago Cutlery! Great long-lived tools that have done many tasks over the years.

I purchased 3 of these as gifts this year. I received one as a wedding gift 30 years ago. I'm still using the very same one. It is the best peeling knife I've ever owned.

This brand is always so reliable. I love the size and shape of this small bladed paring knife. It is perfect for peeling potatoes, apples, etc.
