Chef CraftSelect Paring Knife Set, 2.5 inch blade 8 inch in length 4 piece set, Assorted

These knives are just what I was looking for!! I had some older Pampered Chef ones and I wanted something similar with both product and quality. These completely outdid my expectations and I think they’re better than Pampered Chef!! Cute colors too!

Careful, the little knives are SHARP. Don't let the low price throw you off, these are great little paring knives.

Save your money not sharp at all They make them look like the great ones from Pampered Chef- not even close!

These are very sharp and handy to use. The main drawback is that because they're so small, it's difficult to use them on large pieces of produce. Great for small items but you'll want a larger paring knife for large apples, grapefruit, etc.

Do note that the quality of these knives is going down hill. The plastic handles are thinners than others. Eventually the blade occasionally snaps off the handle. I do throw them in the dishwasher. Great for cutting sandwiches, slicing chicken, cheese, you name it. They are great for paring most items other than tomatoes for which I use a serrated knife. Not super durable as others. The blades have dulled long before older comprimable knives that I have. Have not seen the more substantial models in the stores lately so have reordered a second set.

I wanted to give them an extra star for nostalgia, but I stuck with 3 stars because that's what the quality is. The colors are great, but they are thinner and smaller than I remember which makes them less comfortable and a little harder to control...maybe even less safe. The blade is sharp but seems a little flimsy. Don't get me wrong, I'm gonna use them because I'm a cheapass, but next time around I'll find different ones.

Purchased 2 different inexpensive brands of this style knife, just to see if quality varied. The answer is yes. This brand has sharper knives than the other set purchased. No expectation of high quality at this price, but love this style knife for paring fruits and vegetables.

Very small handles - blades only 2" and not very sharp (new) - really not worth 4 for $4.
