Customer Rating:
Summary: great knife set - terrific in the kitchen and also a very suitable gift
Comment: This set has been a lovely addition to my kitchen. Whenever I need a paring knife, I am always so happy to find these in the drawer. They are sharp, comfortable to hold in the hand, a good assortment of different blade shapes, and also bright and cheerful with their colorful handles. I keep ordering more sets to give my friends when they have wedding showers or for a housewarming gift. For practical, everyday use, I really recommend these knives.

Summary: Love them!!
Comment: 3rd set I have ordered. Stay sharp and very easy to use. Had to order this set so I could find a knife for me to use. Family grabs others, so I never can find one when I need it. Hopefully, these are mine!!

Summary: Size and brand confusion
Comment: These knives are very sharp and sturdy. In addition to all the other reviews, I wanted to point out a few things that may not be apparent prior to purchasing:
1. The handles are all the same size and length for all four knives. If you're used to handles that are about the same length as the blade, this may come as a surprise. It's not a bad thing; it just takes some getting used to (especially with the smallest curved blue knife.)
2. The blade is on the opposite side of what a novice might first think. (I don't know why, but many people think the curved side of the blade is the sharp side. It isn't. Don't cut your fingers.)
3. There are two versions of this color four-piece paring knife set. One is made by J.A. Henckels (the higher quality brand made only in Germany) and the other by Henckels International (the value brand made in China.) They are not the same set of knives, but they look almost identical and come in similar packaging. I noticed that some of the reviewers had some negative comments, and I presume that they might have mistakenly been referring to the Henckels International version, widely available at Target, or possibly one of the many copycat versions not made by Henckels at all.
Hope this note is helpful for those looking to purchase the right set of paring knives.
Happy cooking!

Summary: Rust after second use ...
Comment: I was delighted to receive these knives, and even more delighted after using them. But then came the disappointment ... rusting after two uses (already!) on the blades.
Package clearly says "dishwasher safe." There is no good reason to handwash this knife, given it's materials & price.
I would have been better off picking up the 4-piece set of Chicago Cutlery paring knives for under $4 ... at least they won't rust in the dishwasher.

Summary: Great little knives
Comment: Highly recommend this set of knives. I use them all the time for everything from cutting a piece of fruit to slicing cheese. Love the color coded handles too. They are very sharp and the blades are nice and fine (thin). I got them to replace a very old set of Henkels paring knives. If you take care of these, they will last many years.
