Farberware Pro Forged 4 1/2-Inch Utility Knife, Black Handle

I already have a complete set of these Faberware knives, they've been awesome. However, this knife's handle doesn't compare to the size of the rest of my Faberware Pro Forged Knife's, that's why I only gave it four stars. It's not Amazons fault in anyway, shape or form, but the handle on this knife is so small it's difficult to hold and slice just about anykind of food.

Bought this knife as a replacement for the exact same knife bought in a set from Amazon in 2003. It has been professionally sharpened a number of times and was always razor sharp after a few runs over the steel to get the edge back to true. Heck it'll never be a Wuestoff but for the money, you won't find a better knife or knife set.

Best product so far from all walmart, target etc buyings. I like this but it is costly and avilable only on net. I bought once in 2008 and it is still good after 3 years. I ordered another. Like this very much.

This 4 1/2-Inch Utility Knife by Farberware comes with a sturdy black handle that's easy to hold onto; I have used this for some time now and unlike another reviewer's unfortunate experience, this knife has never accidentally slipped out of my control. It just plain feels like it is well made; Farberware knives last practically forever.

This knife does indeed have a strong, full tang. It is quite sharp when you start out using it but I did find that it needs sharpening just a bit more often than the 5 inch version of this knife. The 5 inch knife by Farberware is a bit sharper both at first and later on after you've used it a while. On the other hand, however, just like the 5 inch knife, this one still makes it child's play to cut meat, skin off chicken (a dietary restriction for me) and even small particles of fat within the meat of a steak or a piece of chicken so that I only get the meat for cooking. Again, like the 5 inch knife, this knife can also easily cut through meat and poultry to make smaller portions or large bite-sized pieces of chicken or beef (or whatever) for cooking, too.

I usually wash this in the kitchen sink using liquid dish soap and water; but if you want to wash this in your dishwasher that should be fine.

Overall, this is a relatively low-maintenance kitchen knife from Farberware and I highly recommend it. It may need to be sharpened a bit more frequently than the 5 inch version of this knife; I don't know why that is but again the difference is not a big one.

The first time I used this knife it was so dull that it rolled off the carrot I was trying to halve and cut my finger instead. I have since had the knife professionally sharpened, but it seems to me that a new knife should be very sharp.
