Kuhn Rikon Colori+ Non-Stick Straight Paring Knife with Safety Sheath, 4 inch/10.16 cm Blade, Green

I have been using these knives for years. Sturdy, well made, sharp blades.

I first got these on QVC many years ago, and have liked them ever since. The blade guard is great, and the knives stay sharp for many 'jobs' (there is a Kuhn Rikon sharpener that keeps mine ready). As far as ergonomics, I like the Amazon brand for that, but haven't tested out the blade sharpness 'endurance' on those yet.

Obviously there are better kitchen knives out there, but not at this price point.This knife has a good edge on it and feels comfortable in your hand. It looks and feels like a good quality knife. I bought this kitchen knife not for my kitchen but for my camping gear, and I am happy with it. A good value for the money.

I think Kuhn Rikon makes a great living on my knife purchases every year as my family and friends enjoy to misplace them, throw them out accidentally with the veggies they peeled with them, use them as screw drivers (hubby!!!!), drop them accidentally, and break the tip off or during camping trips as plain as it is, they "walk" off premises. So therefore this year I purchased not based on colors I like, I just went for the cheapest price available. I use these knives since forever! I don't remember how I did find them for the first time - so it is very long time! I have carpal tunnel syndrome that ended up with a surgery this year so for me the comfort to hold a tool the size of the handle also the weight and balance is crucial. I recommend this paring knife based on my life experiences but I also recommend to keep them away from family members and friends so you'll enjoy them longer!

I like that this knife is so lightweight and that it comes with a blade cover--because it's quite possibly the sharpest knife I own.
