ZWILLING TWIN Grip 4-pc Multi-Colored Paring Knife Set

the knife is beautifully balanced it's Edge retention is standing is a fine piece of crap and handcrafted excellence.

Love love love!!! Can't begin to list the chores these cheap (cost) knives can do! The quality is unparalleled (as in most bang for your $£€¥). Peeling off tomato skin without dropping them in hot water is always my first test of a paring knife. The little birds beak knife (blue handle) is superb for one, or a dozen, tomatoes. You don't have to switch to your big chef's knife to chop them up, either. Use the utility knife and WOW!!! Bob's your uncle and you have two new best friends!!! Not to worry, the last two knives are as useful and magnificently sharp as their names are advertised. The 3 inch Japanese paring knife is more comfortable for me (vertically challenged mini) and gets a great deal of use as a cheese and cracker snack knife for me, and an every thing else that is not a hard veg (butternut squash, has anyone ever not needed a hatchet for those things?) for my children. Speaking of those, I am buying each a set of their own. You would not believe how many times I've found my little plastic handled knives in THEIR HOUSE!!!! The last knife of the set is a standard 4” European paring and peeling knife. So very sharp and does everything I need it to do. Peeling potato skins and fruit skins with little to no effort on my part. I have mastered (as in, I leave more flesh than I take away) the very fine art of peeling an apple. I suggest everyone experiment with this knife until you are a Master, yourself! Until then, you will be eating a lot of applesauce. Worth every single bite, as eating your mutilated and butchered fruits is required. You don't want your mother in law to know how long it really took you to surpass her flawless skill of leaving a whole ribbon of peel, with all the flesh left behind. And, apparently, it's also very scientific and sounds very smart when you attempt to explain that brain-hand-memory hypothesis thingy going on in your head, unbeknownst to you, of course, as you become……. a MASTER. Dum de dum!!!! (Do you also hear a drum roll and explosion of cymbals at the end of your long, run on sentences explaining how much you love “this “ or “that”? Yes! I knew I was not the only one!) Excellent. Worth. Every. Cent!!!
