I love, love, love this knife and I didn’t go broke buying it! This knife was rated by ‘America’s Test Kitchen’ as the best chef knife under $50. It beat out Calphalon, OXO, J.A. Henkels, Chicago Cutlery, Wusthof and Farberware.
Here’s their review:
“Premium-quality knife at a bargain price.” Knives costing four times as much would be hard pressed to match its performance. The blade is curved and sharp; the handle comfortable. Overall, “sturdy” and “well-balanced.”
So go ahead and buy it, it’s worth every penny! I also bought the knife guard for storage, protects the blade and your fingers.
This review is for the 8″ knife, not 6″.

I’ve been looking for a replacement paring knife for a long time, and this one really suits me. Its lightweight fibrox handle fits my smallish hand perfectly. It’s just the right length for all sorts of paring chores, and is also nice and sharp. The price is very reasonable as well. I get the feeling I will be using this knife for a long time to come.

I purchase both the 6″ and the 8″ knifes of the same series. They are great value for the price and definitly make cooking work faster and easier than before. One shortcoming, the knife need to be sharpen every 3-weeks in order to maintain the same cutting smoothness as it came from the factory. but again, great knife for the price.

Love this little knife. Been using it since January, when I bought it here on Amazon.
In fact, I’d have to say, it’s my fave kitchen knife to use daily. It feels nice in the hand, not heavy (I have a Wusthof that is beautifully feeling, but heavy, and nowhere near as sharp as this little modest baby). Easy to clean. Small enough not to be a pain in small kitchens with tiny counters (like mine).
I have three other Victorinox Fibrox knives, including the larger Chef Knife, but I keep reaching for THIS one, so I’m getting a spare and one to use a a gift. With the 4 for 3 promotion, shoot, I might be tempted to get four and save a couple for Christmas gift-giving.
I don’t like to cook, but when you gotta, you gotta. And if you gotta, why not use something that’s a pleasure to use and REALLY is sharp right outta the box. I couldn’t wait to do the tomato test, and it passed with flying sharp colors.
Enjoy!

This knife is recommended by Cooks Illustrated Magazine, and it quickly became my favorite knife for everyday tasks.
