Product Description
When it comes to precision and accuracy, the paring knife is every chef's answer. This 4-piece set features 3¼" Swiss Classic Paring Knives with orange, yellow, pink, and green handles, and is sure to brighten anyone's day! Whether you're looking to expand your own cutlery collection or are in need of a housewarming or hostess gift, this 4-Piece Swiss Classic Paring Set is sure to do the trick.
The 3¼" Swiss Classic Paring Knife with Spear Point is extremely sharp and ready for anything from slicing and dicing to peeling and garnishing. The smooth, uniform cuts will help you make every meal a work of art. With the 3¼" Swiss Classic Paring Knife you can expertly remove pepper seeds, core an apple, trim beans, and devein shrimp with ease.
A versatile paring knife is an essential tool in every kitchen. Like the chef's knife, a paring knife is meant to be used for a wide array of jobs; however, the first and foremost function of a paring knife is detail work and greater control. Its slightly curved blade and pointed tip even resemble a chef's knife, but, is a fraction of the size, which makes it great for small, precision cuts where control is essential. The pointed tip allows you to make intricate cuts or check the tenderness of meat and vegetables. With increased maneuverability and dexterity, you'll find endless opportunities to utilize this nimble knife.
Featuring a world-renowned blade and perfect balance, the 3¼" Swiss Classic Paring Knife provides a professional-grade tool optimized for home use. The tapered knife edge is ground in two directions to hold a sharp edge longer, and can easily be brought back to its original sharpness. The Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Classic collection offers a contemporary handle, inspired by our patented Fibrox Pro line. Designed to minimize hand and wrist tension while providing a secure grip, the contoured nylon handle is both lightweight and durable, making these knives seem less like tools and more like an extension of your hand.
Whether a seasoned, or novice home chef, Victorinox Swiss Army offers not only the right tools and the know-how, but most importantly, the confidence to achieve one’s culinary aspirations. Expertly crafted in Switzerland since 1884, Victorinox offers a lifetime guarantee against defects in material and workmanship.
Formerly Forschner
In 1937 Victorinox began selling cutlery in America through a Connecticut distributor called R.H. Forschner & Co. A well-known manufacturer of butcher scales, Forschner soon became the exclusive U.S. distributor for Victorinox knives, and was the name by which Victorinox knives were known.
In 2011 Victorinox began marketing all its product lines, including kitchen knives, under the common umbrella name by which the company is now popularly known – Victorinox Swiss Army. Today, Victorinox Swiss Army still sells a handful of accessories, including the High Heat Turner line, under the Forschner name.
Care and Use
Be good to your knives and they’ll be good to you. Following these simple guidelines will ensure that you get the longest life out of your knife!
Hand Washing
Victorinox Swiss Army recommends washing all knives by hand. For best results, hand wash your knives with a soapy cloth and dry immediately.
Dishwasher
While Swiss Classic knives are dishwasher safe, we still recommend hand washing as dishwashers are designed to spray water at a relatively high pressure, which can jostle the silverware and cause the knives to collide, dulling the edge.
Maintaining your Knife’s Edge
For optimum performance, knives should be honed after every couple of uses. Proper and frequent use of a honing steel will keep your knives sharper and performing at their best, but remember that a honing steel will not sharpen a dull knife. Honing steels are maintenance tools and are used to help keep an already sharp blade from degrading. During use, a knife edge becomes rolled or turned from direct contact with cutting boards, bones or other hard objects. In this case, honing is necessary to straighten the edge of the knife. After significant use, the steel particles become damaged and the edge cannot be brought back by honing, so sharpening is necessary. If your knives are dull, pitted, or you see visible nicks on the cutting edge, you’ll need to sharpen with a Swiss Sharp Handheld Sharpener (49002) or bring to a professional for re-sharpening.
History and Heritage
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers’ union he formed produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and in 1897 with the Officer’s Knife. In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent of stainless steel, then known as “inoxydable” and used in the production of his cutlery, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born.
Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The reasons I chose the Vitorinox swiss classic were:
1.) Video reviews by multiple professional chefs who started out using these and 15-20 years later still use the same knife (not a replacement of the same type) daily despite access to very expensive knives in Michelin restaurants etc. This alone was enough given the price point, but in case these were paid reviews (at least a couple I definitely don't believe were paid) here is the rest of the reasons.
2.) Test kitchens of America rate this the number one choice for this type of knife based on the ease of use, comfort of use and feel of knife when using for lots of prep (this was the biggest plus for them), and sharpness.
3.) This knife can take a beating unlike expensive options. These can be left wet, put thru dishwasher, and used for just about anything. I wouldn't say you should try to cut thru beef or chicken bones necessarily, but I cut thru a watermelon with this knife like butter, leaving my mouth agape, and me pleased lol! They do not require hand washing and drying, oiling, will not rust, and according to reviews hold sharpness well for what they are. Of course they will require some swipes thru a knife sharpener or along a honing steel from time to time, especially if they get a lot of use, but that is the case with any knife even if it cost $200+.
For roughly $5 per knife, how can you go wrong if even one of these reasons is true?
My experience so far has been on par with the facts above. A few other things I noticed are that the polypropylene (I think?) handles are extremely comfortable, but are slightly textured and feel as if they are slightly rubberized making them feel secure in your hand in any position, and reportedly this will not go away, even 20 years later. The last thing I found when using this knife to make a BLT was that I used it to slice tomatoes (so thin and no squishing!) and lettuce, and then flipping the knife over the spine works perfectly to spread mayo on the bread, and then used the knife to slice the toasted sandwich in half (no squishing to hold bread while trying to cut thru, and no tearing-cuts thru easily). I also had some slight eyes starting on some potatoes I was peeling and found the point on this knife is excellent for cutting out small spots like this. I would rate this knife 10 stars if I could. I find myself looking for reasons to cut up things and do prep work that prevented me from wanting to cook some meals, or made me dread all the prep work now. My chicken fajitas are a popular request but I hate making them with all the dicing of red/yellow/orange/green peppers and onions and then trimming and cubing all the raw chicken, but I am making them tomorrow and am actually looking forward to making my family happy and not feeling like I spent hours having to saw thru chicken and veggies to do so. These knives are a total winner for me, and I would recommend to anyone. My mom has already gotten herself one, and loves hers too. We both use these for virtually everything in the kitchen requiring a knife. The rest are going to Goodwill or the dump lol.
