I prefer serrated paring knives because I am less likely to cut myself. Hard to find them today. Everyone seems to be into edged paring knives. I could end up bleeding to death due to the blood thinners I take. So I was happy to find this one. Have field tested it and it does a fine job. THIS NEXT PART IS AN UPDATE A FEW WEEKS LATER...I dropped it from 5 to 3 stars for durability (it still does a fine job). Opps, after two weeks of use the blade wiggles a little in the handle. The other "cheap" serrated paring knives I have are 20 years old and don't wiggle. I may have to pony up an extra $30 per knife to get a wiggle free serrated paring knife. Life is so cruel! My Daddy was right, "Only get knives with 3 rivots in the handle".
12-8-12 I have had the knife a few months now and again downgraded the rating. It is a parring knife and it will do OK on small items. Beware of something as formidable as an apple...it has a very hard time quartering them, although it does a nice job of pealing them. Stick to baby carrots. Large carrots are sliced only with great dificulty. It does a fine job on small things. Just now I ordered a Wusthof Gourmet 3-Inch Serrated Paring Knife with two rivots and hope it does the trick. This product can be found @ http://www.amazon.com/Wusthof-Gourmet-3-Inch-Serrated-Paring/dp/B0000DJYE3/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1354978563&sr=1-4&keywords=serrated+paring+knife.The blade on this knife is not a straight-edge like a razor and not wavy serrated. Instead is has tiny serrations that still allow it to cut very well, is far less likely to cut you or your cutting board, and seems never to get dull. It's the kind of paring knife my grandmother used during her last decades of life. It has strong and easy to grip handle. I highly recommend it.
