VictorinoxSwiss Classic Multicolored 3-Piece Paring Knife Set

Victorinox are well made and super sharp. Always a top choice for budget pro knives. They come sharp, these blades are very thin, and they hold an edge well. The handles on these are better? (I think). I bought these to replace a 30 year old Victorinox knife from a professional kitchen. (Only because it snapped from hard use after 30 years.) I really like the old no frills flat handles. They fit perfectly in my drawer. The new handles are more ergonomic for sure, but don't fit quite the same. I also liked the logo on the blade on my old knives. A minor complaint. The shorter knives in this set have the logo on the handle, and on the sticker. The long serrated knife has the logo on the blade. I was shocked at how dull my old Victorinox had become. I don't put it to the stone often and it did a great job for me. The new knives showed me how much better they can be. After three weeks of daily use I see no change. These really are one of the best knives you can buy.

These may not look like much, but they are the best knives i've owned. They are super sharp, lightweight and best yet, dishwasher safe. They have made food preperation (and package opening) so much easier. What a find!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:These are some really nice little knives. I read a bunch of reviews cause I do not need more knives that aren’t worth keeping. Who knows how long these will stay sharp but for now they are really great. Two w aerated edges and one w a smooth edge. Useful for produce/meat etc. For the price I’m a happy camper.

Each one of these 3 knives, are well-made & extremely helpful in the kitchen. The serrated paring knife is excellent when working with small to medium size potatoes. It cuts through them cleanly & easily. The 4.5" knife is excellent for cutting bread & homemade rolls. The straight edge paring knife is excellent for coring apples or peeling fruit or vegetables of any type. I do highly recommend wearing a cut-resistant glove, as these knives are very sharp. Also, for added safety, we paired these with 4.5" pink Ergo Chef knife guard. This will protect the knife edge & also your fingers! All in all, an excellent purchase. Highly satisfied.

This is probably the 3rd review I have made of this product. Believe me, I am fussy and these knives truly deliver. So much so that I have bought 2 sets for myself and several as gifts for others. They are SHARP!!! They can handle everything from cutting celery to steak. They do not dull and are dishwasher safe. I honestly can't live without them. And the price point? WOW so inexpensive for such performance. You won't be disappointed. I am thrilled with this purchase (again!).

This set of knives are very useful. They arrived as advertised , well/safely packaged and quickly. We have only had them for one day so I can't comment on longevity yet however I can say they are extremely sharp and perform wonderfully.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I used to use fancy (expensive) knives in the kitchen. They required a lot of regular sharpening. I've now switched over to this knives even though they're not suitable for sharpening (in my opinion). Now, about every year to 18 months I just by a couple more of these to use a my 'main knives' and save the older ones for stuff like opening packing boxes. Yes, it costs more to do this than sharpening my other knives, but not much more considering how sharp these will remain for a year w/o any sharpening.

You can never go wrong with a Victorinox product. My view of this brand it is a high end home use brand. I bought a set with block - 35 years ago -- and still going strong. Worth every penny you spend, also makes great gifts.
