ZYLISS Paring Knife with Sheath Cover, 3.5-Inch Stainless Steel Blade, Green

A very handy and quite sharp paring knife. This is actually the second one we've purchsed. The first one was about 6-7 years ago and just now it's becoming just a bit harder to get and keep a fresh edge on it. It does take to sharping quite well and holds that edge longer than you might imagine before needing a couple trips through the sharpener to restore it to factory freshness. At this reasonable price we just ordered a new one instead of having to sharpen it fairly frequently.

I had my doubts when I saw in the ad how long it is, compared to my favorite paring knife, which is quite short. But now that it has arrived and I've used it a few times, I'm quite happy with it. It is very sharp and cuts smoothly; has been wonderful cutting neatly and cleanly through my Christmasy fruitcake! :-) I thought it would slice cherry tomatoes easily to garnish a sandwich, but their skin seems too thick for easy slicing; the knife does cut through eventually but the pressure squishes the tomato and makes a mess. It cuts crisper veggies like celery or potatoes beautifully. I like the fact that it is two-toned (so I can easily spot it with my feeble eyesight) with a bright green sheath to store it. Am tempted to order a few more since I've learned that once you find something you like, you should hasten and order more before it's gone! :-)

be careful very sharp i did cut myself

Color is very accurate. Unfortunately the tiny bit of hard rubber on the grip doesn't begin to make up for the super hard plastic underneath so this is not great for those with aging hands. Donated, didn't open to evaluate the rest.

Very nice knife. Works great. Very sharp and well made.

Great product for the money

I plan to buy more Very sharp I was surprised how easy it is now to pare a potato!

This is a great basic paring knife. No need to be precious about it, it will take the abuse. It’s easy to sharpen using a stone or a diamond rod, and it keeps a pretty good edge. I like the bright color, it prevents you from accidentally stabbing yourself if someone puts it in the sink.The handle is easy to hold and keep in your hand, it washes up in the dishwasher with no problems (stainless), it comes with a great knife cover for travel.I love the knife cover, since I usually byo knives when I travel- I hate dull vacation rental knives. I accidentally left one recently, and tried to do without it, but bought a new one after a week because I love it so much. I even got one to keep at my mom’s house.The only small downside is that my handle cracked a little bit after about 5 years of daily high temp dishwashing, but it was still usable.
