Shun Classic 3-1/2-Inch Paring Knife Review

Shun Classic 3-1/2-Inch Paring Knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought one for me a week ago and another this morning for my brother. Among the best of the best in short knives made of VG-10 steel. Those layers do make the blade slide through material a little better too.
At $40 this is about the same price at German paring knives. VG-10 is better steel, perhaps the best available for kitchen and pocket knives today. Put VG-10 in Google and search for tests of its properties. Do not think it will take a sharper edge (?), it will hold it longer with care.
The handle is also nice with an triangle/ellipse kind of shape. Less likely to rotate in your hand when cutting through apples and other tougher materials. Wusthoff makes a $20 sharpener I also recommend. Wusthof 2-Stage Knife Sharpener : reference my recommendation there.
All the Shun knives, have six, are superior IF you take care of them properly. Keep them sharp and never bump them against anything but what you cutting. Hand wash, hand dry, and keep in cutting block. If you are not inclined to serious care buy something cheaper. Not for children unless taught proper use and respect.
There are knives with better handles like Shun Ken Onion but all the Shun knives are top quality VG-10 steel. Just find the sizes and shapes that you like. Short paring, medium (7-8") general purpose, and bread knife covers 95% of usage for me.

The razor sharp edge of our Shun Classic Vegetable Paring Knife slices its way through almost everything.Featuring the same VG-10, a hardened Japanese steel of all our Shun Classics, this knife has superior strength, flexibility and corrosion resistance-all characteristics you've come to expect from Shun.And as with our Classic Series, the blades are ground to a 16 degree angle, making them the sharpest out of the box.With our Pakkawood hande, there is a natural guide for finger placement for an easy and secure grip.There may not be a more well-thought out knife line on the market today!

Still, for the price, it's hard to go wrong. If you're starting out, going off to college, equipping a cabin or an RV, looking for knives to use when tailgaiting or camping, etc., these are great. An added bonus is that you'll have the experience to help you decide which of the shapes best suits your preference.
While they aren't professional quality, they're good value for the money. They have a range of blade shapes, making them a versatile set. Their color coding can be useful, too.
WASH promptly after use in hot soap and water, rather than put them in the dishwasher. They'll last longer and stay sharp longer, too. (They'll also set you up with good habits for when you do get the full tang forged versions by Henkel.)

The R.H. Forschner collection has grown in size and stature since its name was first carved in steel in 1855. Historically a premier choice of culinary professionals, it is still preferred by professionals today. Renowned for its extremely sharp, Swiss made, steel blades from Victorinox, R.H. Forschner provides professionals in food processing and preparation with superior quality, value-priced cutlery that enhances performance and increases productivity. They are manufactured in Switzerland. The renowned rosewood handles feature a carved handle design with the unique beauty of natural rosewood and are extra durable. The fibrox handles feature a non slip, ergonomic design and are NSF approved. The blades feature a high-carbon no stain steel with the unique Victorinox polished surface and a taper ground edge. The largest offering of boning shapes and styles in the entire industry. Did You Know: Use a narrow boning knife on ribs and chops to cut easily through bone and cartilage. Use a wide boning knife for chicken and pork. Use a curved boning knife for a better working angle when cutting close to and around the bone. A Granton edge, or "kullenschiff" edge, has hollowed out grooves on the sides of the blade. These grooves fill with the fat and juices of the product being sliced, which allows for thin, even cuts without tearing or shredding the meat. **The NSF mark is a certification of quality assurance and hygienic design. The National Sanitation Foundation mark is proudly carried on all R.H. Forschner blades with a fibrox or nylon handle and assures you of quality and assurance to use in a commercial environment. Look for this mark. Realize that most manufacturers do not carry this seal!

Shun DM0700 Classic 3-1/2-Inch Paring Knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let me first say that the Shun knives, including the 3 1/2 in paring knife, are fantastic. They are the sharpest kitchen knives around and hold an edge very well. The craftsmanship and quality are also extremely good.
However, a $45 paring knife does not make sense unless price is no object for you. You can get a Forschner 3 1/2 inch paring knife (rated number 1 by Cook's Illustrated) for $4.95, a tenth of the cost of this knife. As an owner of both knives, I can say that the Forschner is almost as sharp as the Shun and more comfortable to hold. Certainly the Shun is not 10 times as better as the Forschner.
It should also be noted that the prices on all the Shun knives have gone up after Alton Brown started promoting them. This paring knife was $30 a year ago when I bought it.
In summary, if price is no object for you and you want the best paring knife you can get, buy this knife. Otherwise, I would think twice before making this purchase.

Create culinary masterpieces in your home with this professional-quality Wusthof Classic Ikon peeling knife, also known as a Bird's Beak knife. The curved edge of this knife is ideally suited for peeling, cleaning or shaping any fruit or vegetable with a rounded surface. This 2-3/4-inch blade is complemented by a riveted black handle design with a contoured shape to add comfort and control, and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
A culmination of all the best features of each of the Wusthof knife lines, the Wusthof Classic Ikon line features blades that are precision-forged from one solid piece of steel and tempered to optimum sharpness. The Classic Ikon adds a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance when using the knife, which adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon also has a unique forward bolster, which is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curvered inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade. A full tang extends through the handle for perfect balance and handling.
Made in Solingen, Germany--The Cutlery Capital of the World--Wusthof knives are made from a special blend of German steel and each blade is precisely tempered, which allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen without the need to be sent away for maintenance. Wusthof also employs a unique compound angle that tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge.
Generally, the construction technique and the materials used to manufacture make all Wusthof knives dishwasher safe, but handwashing is recommended. Wash your knives with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel. Corrosive food particles will not affect your blade if washed off directly after use.

Was initially attracted to the knife display in a kitchen store by the colorful array of these paring knives... then couldn't decide which color... After purchasing and using one for a couple of days, I returned to purchase half-a-dozen more of them; will keep a couple of them and give the rest as gifts this holiday season.
The knives are super sharp, and are covered with a non-stock surface and nothing seems to stick to them; as you slice, the sliced items just simply fall away. Easy to clean, also comes with a protective sheath, which protects both the blade and your fingers!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have a lot of experience using various brands of kitchen cutlery, including some from relatively obscure Japanese manufacturers, and I truly believe that this is the best bird's beak knife on the market. The most important thing in selecting a bird's beak knife is sharpness, and Shun knives are certainly among the very sharpest on the market today. The only comparable knife that I have used is the Global bird's beak knife, but this one has a much more comfortable handle than the Global does. Additionally, the Shun bird's beak knife is balanced better than the Global, and significantly sharper than similar knives from Wusthof and Henckels. There is also a Shun Stainless bird's beak knife, with the only difference being the stainless steel handle. Although not every kitchen absolutely needs a bird's beak knife, I highly recommend this one for those that do want one for peeling tough vegetables such as turnips and for specialized decorative garnishing.

This knife was bought out of jar on the counter of the Robertson's Meats main store in OK. I got it as a whim needing to cut a summer sausage in the car. What a surprise...it has been great and I have bought 3 more.
What is the best thing in a knife is how long it keeps it's edge and how well it sharpens. This knife beats any other brand in this category. Yes the handle is simple and small.
No other knife let's me slice a block of hard cheese paper thin without much thinking about it and other's always drift. The beauty is in the thin blade...it is not flimsy...thinness of the blade is what makes the knife and yet it is durable.

The small size and sharp point of this paring knife make it ideal for handheld and small cutting chores, such as vegetable peeling or mincing herbs.

Forschner knives are made by Victorinox with the same quality as their Swiss Army knives. The handle of this paring knife is slightly larger at 4.25-inches, than other Victorinox paring knives. Like other cutlery in the line, this 3-1/4-inch paring knife is stamped from high-carbon steel that won\'t stain. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness.

I bought this knife to use as a paring knife but the handle was too small for my large hands, which is why I only gave it four stars. Because of the handle fit, I decided to use the knife as a letter opener. Paper is very hard on an edge. After sharpening this knife it is one of the sharpest I own. The knife is made in China with German Steel. I have found the steel they use to be Great Steel.

I just purchased this exact set - not from Amazon - but from a small Mennonite store. I've been looking for some good - and I mean GOOD knives, and researching the Net and a number of chef magazines.
As I pulled up to the little Mennonite store - I noticed a sign stating they carried Rada Cutlery. I'd never even heard of it - but I decided to check inside. Although the prices were slightly higher than Amazon offers - I still thought they were low enough that the knives could not be of a high quality. One elderly Mennonite woman told me she owned the middle knife and that she loved it - used it to butcher her chickens. That was a little icky, but I figured if it was good enough for that, I might as well try the set - the price was right.
I am thrilled with the knives. I had to be careful with the parer - it slipped through the potato skin so easily I was taking off more of the potato than I wanted. And the middle-sized knife slipped through bacon I was slicing (in a large chunk) as easily as butter.
Now I'm going to order more Rada knives to supplement my little set.
I can't speak highly enough of these knives.

I am consistently amazed at the high quality and low price of all the OXO kitchen products. Though I like heftier knives, this peeler is the best. The only caveat is that it takes a little getting used to the "direction of peel" - towards you, but once you do get used to it (a couple of carrots should suffice) you'll never go back to the classic at your mother's house.

Wusthof Classic 3-1/2-Inch Paring Knife Review

Wusthof Classic 3-1/2-Inch Paring Knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This knife is good for everything from mincing herbs to slicing fruit to filleting small fish - it even makes a pretty good steak knife. I finally broke down and bought a second one, so my mate and I can cook together without fighting over it.
Like all the knives in the Wusthof Classic line, this knife is fully tanged and bolstered. The tang extends into the handle and offsets the weight of the blade, and the bolster sits on your index finger to provide the fulcrum point. The result is a knife that is remarkably responsive and balanced. Some reviewers prefer the larger utility knife to this 3.5 inch parer. This knife is lighter and shorter, and therefore provides a balance point that is more comfortable for a smaller hand.
If you want the full arsenal of Wusthof prep knives, get the bird's-beak parer for digging the eyes out of potatoes and the stems out of peppers, get the serrated utility knife for slicing citrus and tomatoes, get the trimming knife for cutting off stems and boo-boos, and get the utility or boning knife for for slicing and meat prep. But if you just want to buy one, get this one.

The small size and sharp point of this paring knife make it ideal for handheld and other small or intricate cutting chores, such as vegetable peeling or mincing small amounts of parsley.

J.A. Henckels International 3-Piece Paring Knife Set, Multicolored
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Several years ago I bought the 4-pack set of these knives, manufactured by Zwilling-Henckels. I was so happy with them I bought some for others in my family. We use them almost daily, so I wanted to get another set. While looking around on the site, I noticed this 3-piece set which cost 1/2 as much as the 4-piece! What a deal I thought! The only knife missing was the red-handled one, which I use the least anyway. Unfortunately, I forgot to do my homework. Yes, these ARE Henckels knives but NOT the same Henckels knives I have and love. Henckels has two lines, the "premium" brand and the "value for the money" brand. The first set of knives I bought was the "premium" brand and this set from Henckels, International, is the "value for the money" brand. These knives are very similar to the first set I bought but they are not the same. The handles are slightly different, the blades are different sizes, the knives aren't as sharp, and I have already noticed some small rust stains on the blades, though I was able to scrub them off. These knives are ok for the price, but they aren't as good as the set from Zwilling-Henckels, which I would have given 5 stars.
09/14/09 Here it is, 5 years later, and I'm thinking of buying another set of Henckels paring knives. I will buy the Henckels Twingrip set of 4 rather than these, in spite of the higher price. (If you knew me, that fact would astound you!) If you are confused by the similar names for the two sets of knives, see if you can find a close-up picture. The better quality knives have two little 'men' on the blade, as opposed to one 'man' on the lower quality merchandise.
If you are wondering why I would consider buying yet another set of paring knives, it is for this reason: I find myself washing the dirty, yellow H. Twingrip knife over and over rather than reaching for my clean, yellow H. International blade!
