Product Description

In 1884 Master Cutler Karl Elsner started his cutlery factory in Ibach, Switzerland and in 1897 he crafted the Victorinox Original Swiss Army Knife. Since that time the Elsner family has continued to craft tools of percision, durability and quality. Victorinox is one of the largest producers of cutlery in the world. Victorinox cutlery has been distributed in the United States since 1884 to culinary professionals under the brand name R.H. Forschner. Each blade is stamped from a single sheet of metal. The blade is then hardened, tempered, ground, polished, etched and finished.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Paring Knife, June 26, 2004

Outstanding for the price. Sharp and easy to sharpen when needed. Offers enough flexibility for quick and easy pealing and fluting. I utilize this little guy for de-boning chickens as well. I've de-boned quite a few with a much more expensive MAC knife specifically made for poultry de-boning, and I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of this knife. And the great thing is that it is no major loss if my wife accidentally throws it in the sink or dishwasher (a different story with my chefs knife though!)

I highly recommend this knife.

This is an excellent knife for the price. It's one of my favorites. The edge stays sharp a long time and it's easy to re-hone the blade. I really appreciate the knife sheath to put it in. It's one of the most used knives in my arsenal.

I am giving it five stars because its a good value, its relatively inexpensive, and it does what its supposed to do. Most of the time if I am paring I use a potato peeler. If I need a paring knife I tend to reach for my Old Hickory carbon paring knife but this will do the job too. You should have a paring knife around. Maybe if you want something to quarter grapefruit. Its a good knife.
