Kuhn Rikon 4-Inch Nonstick Colori Paring Knife, Set of 3

I now own 6 of these little marvels. They are very easy to hold and make fast work of whatever food item you are cutting. I tend to use them for everything, leaving my expensive Henkel's knives in the block. I truly like the fact they have covers, which has saved my fingers numerous times when grabbing them out of the drawer.

Yes that nice looking "+" symbol on the blade would have you thinking these are made in Switzerland with pride and quality craftsmanship, but think again. These are made in China. I purchased these about 5 years ago at a Williams Sonoma store thinking the same as probably 98% of the other buyers on here rating them so highly, they were made in Switzerland. WRONG.

Make the same knife and put the Chinese flag on the blade and see how many you sell and how many stars people rate them as.

Anyway, in reviewing the knives and not the integrity of Kuhn Rikon, they are okay. After 5 years of careful, trained, adult use the blades requires sharpening about once a month with use of 3-5 times weekly. The blades are painted, and the paint chips/flakes off which being made in China wonder how much lead is in this paint, like the toys they try to poison our children with?

The handles are the best part, but you don't buy a knife for the handle.

Look around they are MANY other options for quality knives made by the Swiss or Germans, and worth the money. These, are sadly not.

I picked up this set because I wanted have an extra paring knife (most-used knife in the kitchen) and bring one to work to cut up an apple now and then. These knives are very pretty and different. They are coated in a colorful, slick material that matches a plastic handle and sheath. This makes the food more or less slide off the blade and the knife edge itself is very nicely sharp.

The sheaths mean that you can drop one of these paring knives into a drawer when you are finished with them--and not worry about running into an open blade as you rummage in a drawer. I normally keep ALL my knives in a block on the counter, but when you buy more knives than you have space for in the block, that's an issue.

For picnics, travel, storing in a work drawer, these are superb and they cut very well. The set of three is handy--one for work, one for the picnic basket and one for the utensil drawer at home. Or keep them in various drawers all over your kitchen so there is always a good paring knife at hand. If you are not superstitious about a gift of knives ("cuts" the friendship) then these make a really excellent gift for anyone.

We love these knifes. We cannot get enough of these knives. We used to have 2, and when we lost one guard and one knife, we decided to go for the 3-pack to replace them. These knives are just awesome; they're sharp, the perfect size, dishwasher safe, and come with matching guards. Our "good" knives haven't left their guards in a year. So much for that investment.
