I bought this knife because Cook's Illustrated, which is very reliable, rated it as the best paring knife they tested -- even though paring knives can be had for over $100. They had also top rated the Forschner 8" chef's knife, after comparing it with forged knives costing many times as much. For those who watch their PBS television show, they really do use the Forschner knives.
My experience with the paring knife has been very favorable. Although it's small and rather nondescript in appearance, I've used it to remove the silverskin from both beef and pork tenderloins far more efficiently than with any other knife I own, including a forged blade from a manufacturer with an excellent reputation and a high price. The stamped blade is easy to maneuver, and seems exceptionally sharp.
While the small handle might be a problem for people with large hands, the high quality of this knife, combined with its low price, make it worth trying for just about every home cook. Beyond that, if it's damaged, unlike the high priced paring knives that it competes with, it can be replaced without any feelings of angst. This is an exceptionally good knife at a remarkably low price.

This little knife is easy to use, very sharp and stays sharp longer than most and sharpens very well

The knife I received was not the knife pictured. The one I received is a poorly ground piece of stainless steel, with a concave handle, not the knife pictured. The handle says "Victorinox" but the quality of construction, handling and sharpness is vastly inferior to anything I've gotten from Victorinox before. This is a terrible knife that dulls immediately, with a poorly constructed grip and terrible handling.

Delivery: I ordered the knife on 7/2/15 late at night and received it on 7/5/15 GREAT delivery timing.

Pros:
I ordered this knife because my friend has one she's had for 10 years. She recently came to stay in Miami and brought it with her. I was amazed at how sharp it was after 20 years, no rust either. So I ordered mine. The handle is sturdy but light weight. For me that might be a good thing. I rather be able to maneuver the knife with less weight than a weighted one. The handle is also a bit on the narrow side but again, for me that is a good thing. It is very sharp. I watched the onion video and sliced a yellow onion with the Chef Tools knife I have at home (over 4 years, sharpen myself) and then I used the Victorinox. I could definitely feel the difference. I know if will have to be careful with the knife because of the difference in weight.

Cons:
The blade seems a bit thin so I don't know if it might break. I might have preferred a blade that was just a tiny bit wider. I will update after a couple of months of using it.

Criteria for Purchase:
1. Tired of sharpening my knifes, lol. 2. Used one that was 10 years and was still very sharp and no rust. 3. Excellent price 4. Good customer service reviews.

Update:
be careful I cut myself already. This is really a sharp knife.

I ordered this knife because it was a bit cheaper than the one with the larger handle which was the same length. Mistake.

The handle was just a bit too small for my comfort, and I ended up ordering the larger handle as well.

Like all Swiss Army knives, you can count on a beautifully sharp blade which cuts easily and cleanly thru onions, carrots, just about anything. Great blade.

This is a small, very sharp paring knife that's easy to use.

Because it's small, and the handle is narrow and light weight, the applications are limited to small and relatively soft items. The flexible blade is good for boning small items like individual pieces of chicken; it's also handy for working on jobs requiring a small blade such as coring strawberries.

I wouldn't recommend it when a stiffer blade is needed such as for cutting hard, or even semi-hard cheeses.

This little paring knife recommended by ATK, does not disappoint. Fits nicely in the hand; thin, supple blade. Excellent price. Companion to the Chef's knife by the same maker--also a wonderful knife at a reasonable price.

I have a great paring knife but was looking for a second since I use it so much. This is a great size. It fits in your hand perfectly without being oversized - great for cutting fruit. It is very lightweight which is exactly what I was looking for. The blade is nice and sharp which is important.

The biggest down side is that the polypropylene handle gets very slippery when working with the knife - even if cutting something that doesn't have much juice, like an apple. It worries me that I'll slip and cut myself. I am constantly pausing to wipe down the handle while cutting something. I don't think I'll buy any more knives with this type of handle.

---------------------
JAN 2015 UPDATE:
I am removing a star from my review. The blade is still very sharp but the very tip has bent a bit - this occurred just when cutting an apple. (The knife didn't even get stuck! The blade was straight beforehand, then when the apple was sliced, the bend was there.) In addition, I am constantly worried that the blade is going to snap somewhere - or maybe even come free from the handle, though I think snapping is more likely. I do not use it for heavy duty cutting. It is a paring knife and used primarily for cutting small fruit. Cutting apples is the most "harsh" task the knife faces! I treat my knives very well and am not rough with them so I know it's not a user/abuse caused problem. I may have to retire this little knife as I am in constant fear of this blade snapping and it has developed a very slight "wobble".

My 10 year old Wusthof paring knife, which was $6 at a housewares store in NYC, is still perfect. I think I need to seek out another of those as a replacement and forget the Victorinox.
