Summary
A stamped Swiss-made paring knife with a 3.1-inch wavy edge and polypropylene handle for cooks who already own a straight-edge paring knife. Check before you buy: serrated edges handle tomatoes, citrus and bread well but are not adequate for delicate herbs or mincing shallots.
Strengths
- Wavy edge bites into tomatoes, citrus, small bread, pizza, pies and pastries where straight edges slide.
- Stamped stainless blade arrives sharp and owners report it stays sharp with little care.
- Grippy plastic handle is easy to maneuver for hulling strawberries, slicing apples and cutting kiwi.
- Dishwasher safe and covered by a Victorinox Lifetime warranty.
- Made in Switzerland with product support and repair centers through Victorinox US.
Weaknesses
- Serrated edge is not adequate for cutting delicate herbs or mincing a shallot efficiently.
- Wavy edge is harder to resharpen than a straight edge and needs a slow pass that follows the curves.
- Stamped construction does not give the long service life of harder steel knives with riveted handles and full tangs.
- Wirecutter positions serrated models as supplementary tools, not primary paring knives.
- Dishwasher knocking dulls edges, so hand-washing is recommended even though the knife is marked dishwasher safe.
