Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this knife because Cook's Illustrated, which is very reliable, rated it as the best paring knife they tested -- even though paring knives can be had for over $100. They had also top rated the Forschner 8" chef's knife, after comparing it with forged knives costing many times as much. For those who watch their PBS television show, they really do use the Forschner knives.
My experience with the paring knife has been very favorable. Although it's small and rather nondescript in appearance, I've used it to remove the silverskin from both beef and pork tenderloins far more efficiently than with any other knife I own, including a forged blade from a manufacturer with an excellent reputation and a high price. The stamped blade is easy to maneuver, and seems exceptionally sharp.
While the small handle might be a problem for people with large hands, the high quality of this knife, combined with its low price, make it worth trying for just about every home cook. Beyond that, if it's damaged, unlike the high priced paring knives that it competes with, it can be replaced without any feelings of angst. This is an exceptionally good knife at a remarkably low price.
Customer Review: A good little knife, pure & simple
Summary: 5 Stars
This little paring knife recommended by ATK, does not disappoint. Fits nicely in the hand; thin, supple blade. Excellent price. Companion to the Chef's knife by the same maker--also a wonderful knife at a reasonable price.Customer Review: Just OK
Summary: 3 Stars
This knife is pretty average. I had high hopes that it would be as stellar as the 8" chef's knife by Forschner, but it's very light and a little on the flimsy side. I've gone back to my Cutco paring knife that's 10 years old.
