Victorinox5.1113.3-X1 Swiss Army Fibrox Pro Paring Knife Set, 3-Piece

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have probably 10 of these little knives. They have held up really well and have stayed sharp even after years of use. They go through the dishwasher perfectly. I have purchase so many because I do a lot of food preparation for food allergies and don't share utensils. These are cheap enough that I can have a bunch and don't have to stop to handwash a knife as I change food items. Also they are a really good size for having my children help me prepare food at meal time. I usually use these to cut fruit/veggies (that don't require much chopping) and small bread loaves. I have purchased these as gifts for other people too because I like them so much. I like this set because it has 3 different blade edges. They may not be the nicest looking knives (I don't set these out for guest at dinner - I have a nicer set of knives for that), but extremely practical!

Great sharp knives, the serrated ones are amazing for cutting almost anything.

These are seriously the absolute best you can get for the money. I use the larger of the 3 for almost everything in the kitchen!

I have had these for 7 years and they are still very sharp. When my sisters come over that always comment on have useful these are.Am buying again as gifts.

Economical, Sharp, and took to dishwasher with-out any problem.I bought these as a test, I was looking for a new slicing knife and liked the look of the Victorinox, but having been burned on steak knives, decided to test before I jumped, The test is a success, the pairing knives can be used for steak knives in a pinch, and the steak knife is very nice too. In fact I am thinking about another one of these sets, and putting by other recent steak knives in a bottom drawer for when they are the only alternative.My only issue with this set is the steak knife, I prefer a spear point, and could take or leave the serrations. Just a preference not a complaint. I may even by a set that matches the steak knife in this kit, I like them that much, I can happily go rounded point.

Based on sharpness alone, these are definitely five-stars. I wanted a set of knives to take on our weekly beach rental trips. (The homes don't always have the best of kitchen conveniences.) On my first trip using the knives, I cut myself on three different fingers. The basic problem was the size and light-weightedness of the knives. They are relatively small and light weight. So trimming cilantro, mushrooms, celery, tomatoes, etc. was very easy; unfortunately their size allowed my fingers to be closer to the cutting blade than I realized.I will continue to take them in our "trip box", but will take the recommendations of the many experts on the Food Channel and include a full size 6-8 inch "chef's knife". As I experiment with cooking in the kitchen, I'm realizing the best all-round knife is a comfortable chef's knife as the best all-around go-to knife. These Victorinox knives are certainly a great compliment to have around though.

I bought this set about 5 years ago for our lake cabin. Every time I'm there using these knives, I think to myself, "Self, why don't you have these at home? You should get another set." But then I haven't ever done it. Until now! i'm back for another set and will buy a set for my daughter to take to college too. These things are sharp and feel very high quality for the price point. The handles are plastic, but the blades definitely don't feel cheap. I highly recommend them.
