Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Pairing the sharpness of a larger knife with the agility of a smaller one, the mini chef's knife by Oxo is the perfect invention for smaller tasks. The sharp stainless-steel blade chops, slices, and cuts with ease, and the tool is easier to maneuver than a full-size knife.

The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

3.0 out of 5 stars GOOD HANDLE, LOUSY BLADE, September 2, 2006

By 

jerry i h (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews

My main complaint about this knife is the wierd shape of the blade. The maker calls it a "mini-chef" knife, but I do not see how that name is relevant. The blade is 4 inches long, but is wide like a chef knife. It kind of looks like a Japanese Deba (fish cleaning) knife. I rarely clean fish, and I have yet to figure out what to do with this goofy knife, so it usually stays in the knife roll.

The blade metal itself is a different matter, since Oxo has a complete line of kitchen knives with this same metal. Sadly, it is ordinary, cheap, stainless steel. So, the cutting edge does not get that sharp on my Chef's Choice, and the blade gets dull rather fast. On the other hand, it is cheaper than a regular kitchen knife. However, I would spend a few extra dollars and get the higher quality kitchen knives that Oxo makes (I think they call that line "professional").

The real attraction of this knife is the sure-grip, rubber handle. No matter how oily your hands get with olive oil or chicken fat, you always get a good, non-slippery grip on the handle. I am quite impressed with this handle, and certainly do plan to get this company's higher quality kitchen knives: I expect it to become my favorite knife.
