Product Description
The Good Grips Paring Knife is a fine-edge knife that's reliable, comfortable and easy-to-use. The sharp, tapered stainless steel blade pares through anything, while non-slip grips keeps your Paring Knife in your hand, even when wet. The soft handle relieves pressure on your hand.
Amazon.com Review
The blade size and excellent handle on this paring knife make it a premier small tool for the kitchen. It's sharp, strong, and durable, and, while it's designed for small jobs, can handle some larger ones too. It's especially great for tasks that require repetitive motion. The Good Grips line features durable, non-slip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

 Very Handy. August 30, 2008

We like this so much after several years use we wanted to have two of them and bought another. It is perfect for smaller hands and very ergonomic. We use them both pretty much every day.
Perfect Paring Knife August 3, 2008

Love this knife. It is so easy to hold, particularly if you have any arthritic or other problems. It is also great for small hands. It does not slip and cuts beautifully. This is my second one: the last one was accidently damaged by someone who used it to pry something and bent it. It is meant for cutting food,not cement.
 Worthless Junk - get a Henckels or Victorinox paring knife instead January 2, 2007

I'm a big fan of most of OXO Good Grips products, but after having purchased two of their knives, this one and the 5" mini-chef's knife, I feel compelled to warn people not to waste their money on OXO knives. To be blunt (that is the OXO knife's fate in life - sorry about the pun), the quality and intelligent design for which OXO products are well known does not extend to their cutlery line. First, the handles on these knives are a very sloppy ribbed rubber that provides no more firm of a grip than a dog's rubber squeaky toy. The grips aren't particularly ergonomically shaped, either. Even worse than the grip is the blade itself. Honestly, this knife would have a difficult time cutting cold butter taken straight from the refrigerator. The blades when brand new are dull and have not been ground, sharpened and honed to a useable edge. However, I seriously doubt even a professional knife sharpener could do much with this. Made from cheap stainless steel, this OXO knife's blade is simply not meant to obtain or keep a sharp edge. Avoid this and buy one of the plastic-handled $3-4 Heckels or Victorinox paring knives instead - they are vastly superior and cheaper to boot. Or, for a real change, try one of the Kyocera ceramic paring knives. They are obviously a lot more expenisive, but you still should be able to pick one up for around thirty bucks on Amazon and you will be amazed at how incredibly sharp they are. I was able to slice a section of a grape that was transparent and a mere fraction of a millimeter thick with my Kyocera.

Oxo's knife glides over the item you wish to peal, sharp and easy to direct. The gripping piece is larger than normal knives and shaped more comfortably in the palm making it feel lighter in hand than our other knives. We have this knife (back to get a few extras) and the swivel top parer that is also a delight to use--head and shoulders above the regular parer for ease and comfort. Both Oxo items highly recommended.
Low quality product. July 11, 2003

This is a poorly made product. After a few months of use, the blade broke off. The handle is hard, brittle plastic covered with soft plastic. The blade extends into the brittle plastic only a little bit. The results were inevitable. Pure junk.
