I'm sure cutlery connoisseurs may raise an eyebrow at this knife, but for peeling potatoes and small jobs, it's just the best.
I've tried others' knives on many occasions, and often wished I'd brought my own because I can whip right through a pile of potatoes. I was raised using a peeler gadget for potatoes and never thought I'd want to switch, but I prefer the Pampered Chef paring knife.
Don't use it for big jobs--it's much too flimsy for that. While it's great for peeling potatoes, I don't usually slice or dice potatoes with it.
While this knife may be dishwasher safe, I always hand-wash mine and they have lasted a long time. I've purchased several of these over the years (every time I get invited to one of those parties, it seems, they're only a buck and change) and have given several away and have two in my drawer. I am browsing the catalog from a party this weekend and see they have a special deal in garnet to match my kitchen. Guess what I'm ordering? I just love these little knives!
September 2011 update:
While I still believe this is a good little paring knife for the price, I've found something I like better: Kuhn Rikon Piranha Swivel Peeler, Red.I have used this knife for years and it is a small all purpose knife. It is sharp sharp sharp!!! My Aunt bought the first ones for everyone in the family and we have been using them ever since. They will retain the edge for quite a long time and for the price you can replace them as often as you would like so buy more than one.Someone gave me one of these little knives several years ago. I loan it to a friend, and she lost my knife. When I saw this ad on Amazon, I knew I had found a duplicate! I got several for me, and for my friend. This is the best sharp little paring knife in the world!I purchased 4 of these for my Mother, she loves them. I will probably order more in the very near further. I love them to, they are just perfect for cutting and peeling apples, cheese etc..These knives are small and very sharp and very useful. Shipment was handled very expeditiously. I was pleased with this order.
