Victorinox Swiss Classic 4-Inch Paring Knife, Spear Tip

First, as to how I decided on Victorinox knives, see my review of Victorinox 40520 Fibrox 8-Inch Chef's Knife. This knife, like the Chef's knife, does not look, nor feel, like much. But, yikes, can it cut, and it certainly doesn't slip in your hand.

I bought this knife for small things, like dicing carrots, onions, celery, etc. Great job. The first time I used it on celery, I thought the celery had gone limp because the knife went right through it without much effort at all but, thankfully, the celery was still good and so is this knife.

My criteria for choosing Victorinox knives were: 1) not expensive; and, 2) best value for $$ I could find. This knife definitely meets my criteria. I'll try to remember to update this in a year just to see how it stands up to almost daily use.

This knife does not feel like the same quality as the R.H. Forschner knives also sold by Victorinox, but it performs its function very well. This knife outperforms various series of Wusthof and Henkel knives I own costing up to 4 times as much. The blade is thin and sturdy but flexible. The knife handle is a hard textured plastic. The edge has stayed razor sharp through use, so I have not sharpened it yet. The only con of this knife would be the handle, but it is easy to grip and clean, just not as nice as the Fibrox handle found on many other Victorinox knives. Generally Fibrox has a kind of rubberized feel that this doesn't have.

This is one sharp little knife! I have several Henckel knives but they don't compare to the sharpness of this one. I researched knife brands and wanted Shun knives, but affordability was an issue. I decided on the Victorinex based on America Test Kitchen review and price. It's a dandy, and I use it every day.
