This Serrated Utility Knives give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Not as useful as I had hoped it would be.
Bought this when it came up in my Gold Box. As a fan of the Wusthof classic line, I thought it would be a useful addition to my other knives. Yes, it is well made, earning it three stars.

On the minus side, its serrated edge makes it less useful as a paring knife, as I can attest from having cut myself several times on those serrated points. For mincing, I much prefer either the smaller of my chef's knives or even a 4 inch utility knife. Unfortunately, the blade is too short and too curved to work well as a tomato slicer.

Over time mine I noticed that kitchen "helpers" in the family would reach for it--the novelty factor--use it briefly, and return to an old favorite, i.e., one of the standard paring knives, the 4 inch utility knife, or one of the chef's knives. As a result, this knife has been relegated to storage with the specialty knives in a bin at the back of the drawer with other knives we use only rarely.

Bottom line: For use as a dedicated bar knife for...

2. "That's my knife"
This is a gem of a knife. It is new to me, but I already know that it will be the knife that I use most. It is razor sharp. The handle is very comfortable; feels like it was tailor made to fit into your hand. You know how most of us have a favorite kitchen knife that we use over and over again and we would go absolutely ballistic if somebody were to take our knife, well this is that knife. I have had several paring knives and this the the best by far. Amazing how something so small can bring such joy!

The Best Paring Knife I Have Seen
I am a former professional chef, and have always loved Wusthof knives. Over the years I have accumulated a set of them, and they are, by far, the most used knives in my kitchen. This knife, a serrated 3-inch paring knife, is particularly useful. I generally use it for dealing with fruits of different varieties, but it is useful in many other versatile ways, too. The knife is razor sharp, and holds its edge well, it is well balanced, and is dishwasher safe (though I normally hand wash it.)

Wusthof knives are the best mass market knives readily available and I recommend them highly. Some people comment on the high cost of these knives, which can be a real turn off, but to these people I say that while the prices are high at first glance, these knives will far outlast any competing cheaper knife they can buy. Buy a Wusthof once, and you are set for life.
