When I learned that a friend used a paring knife for every kitchen task, I purchased this knife for her. It's longer than her paring so will tackle more jobs easily, but it did not intimidate her like a chef knife. She loves it. Great knife for her, great price for me.
This lighter weight Classic prep knife is one of the knives I think are essential in the kitchen. The handle is really comfortable and the steel stays mega sharp for a long time. It can easily tackle any medium-sized prep task.
Great starter prep knife. The handle meets the blade well and provides a comfortable feel in hand. The steel is nice and durable, providing great cuts and slices for your food prep. This is a great small blade, big enough to cut through big pieces of fruit or veggies, but small enough that it’s not overly daunting of a blade size. A great knife to be able to use on a cutting board as well.
The Classic line is the best kept secret around. They are value priced but made with German Steel and the knife if fully forged. They are like a cousin to top of line German knives made by Zwilling. I use this prep knife for quick cuts or chops. It's really strong but has some flexibility too.
