I purchased this three piece paring knife set in addition to a more expensive Henckels paring knife J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 3-Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Paring Knife. This set is good quality. Stamped on the blades are the words "German Stainless Steel" and "Made in China". They have a good sharp edge and a textured, shaped plastic handle that provides a good grip. The package says that the knives are "stamped one-piece blade construction for strength and durability". It also says that the handles are "fully closed polypropylene", "breakproof, dishwasher safe, and hygienic." They are lightweight and have a nice finish on the blades.

This is a fantastic set at a great price that is indispensable in my kitchen. I love the blade shapes, lightness and sharpness of these knifes. I use them mostly for carving and garnishing, and they feel very comfortable in my hand and results are always great.

My favorite one is the smallest with a curved blade. It helps me create very attractive garnishes from fruits that are next to impossible with a straight edge peeler. These types of knives sell as open stock for 3 times the cost of the set!! Highly recommend. Good brand, great quality. Simply can't go wrong here.

Great set of paring knives. They are very sharp & do well after several trips in the dishwasher.

I have owned knives with riveted handles for as far back as I can remember. While they are fine for Chefs Knives and Utility Knives, I have never liked their bulky feel for paring knives. After using some "As Seen On TV" knife with a similar ergonomic handle I was hooked on the feel and decided to purchase some new paring knives.

My only complaint would have to that the edge, right out of box, felt a little rough. They cut well enough, but on tougher foods I felt it was grabbing a bit too much. Five minutes on the Lansky Universal Sharpening System quickly corrected that, though.

They may not be the best knives you have ever used, but for the price I could hardly ask for more. I certainly don't foresee replacing them anytime soon.

I'll be honest, I have a complete set of more expensive Henckle knives, the Four Star series, and really only bought these as companion pieces and to use for utility purposes (opening packages, boxes, etc.) and that is exactly how I use the smaller one. But I find myself reaching for the other two to do most of my small food chopping jobs. For the price this is a terrific set. I stick them in the dishwasher and I haven't had any problems!

Best paring knives I have ever used. Recommended to all kitchen for easy of use and safety.They will last a life time and sharpen easily.

I've had these for about 7 years and I find myself reaching for them over and over again. I've got other more expensive paring knives but...

I don't care much for the shape of the little curved one so I mainly reserve that for opening bags, boxes and packages. After seven years of nearly daily use one of the others broke so I'm here to get another set. You simply cannot beat the price!

This set of knives are the perfect replacement for the one that was accidentaly lost at Thanksgiving. My Wife is very happy that her favorite knife(s) were in the box she got for Christmas. Knives are hard to find as her hands are small. Very good quality and holds the edge through many uses. Thanks--Tom

These knives are wonderful! They are light weight, easy to hold, have a nice thin blade and keep their edge very well. I have had the tri-colored set of these knives for a couple of years and love them, but I wanted another set in black to match my other knives. They are my go-to knives for just about every slicing or cutting job in the kitchen. And for the money, they are better than any other small knife I've ever had. And I've had a lot of small knives. Over the years I have finally gotten all Henckel knives on my knife magnet and these complete the collection for me. Even though they are cheaper by comparison to higher-end Henckel knives, they are worth double the cost to me. I don't find a need for the smaller curved blade knife in the kitchen, but I keep it handy near my entry hall as it is perfect for opening all my Amazon boxes as they arrive! I have and will continue to recommend these knives to all the cooks I know.

Sharp and every thing I require of a paring knife. The blades are in 3 useful configurations. I tend to grab the pointed one most often.
