Customer Reviews:
Like a dream!
I didn't know a knife could cut so well! I received this for my birthday after putting it on my wish list because it was a top pick at America's Test Kitchen. I am amazed by how sharp it is and how easily it cuts through meats, carrots and the few other items I've used it on in the few hours I've had it. Fits in my hand well with good balance between handle and blade. Would buy again, and again! Well worth the money, in fact, quite a bargain for the price vs quality!

go get this knife
Go get this knife! Now! You won't be sorry. This is my where-have-you-been-all-my-life
knife. I reach for it several times a day. I've only had it about a week, so I can't say how
it will hold up, but so far I love it. I have Henkles, Wustoffs, Cutco, Mac--this has become
my go-to knife.

Not for small hands, but a great knife!
This is a great knife - a little lighter than my preference, but it is sharp, appears sturdy, and the handle has *superb* grip. I didn't know a handle could be so superbly grippy until using this knife.

But! A caution for the WOMEN purchasing knives... unless you have larger hands than the average gal, consider a smaller knife. I know, I know - always consider dimensions before you order. But! I didn't, and while this knife is still usable, I think a reminder is in order that the size of knife considered "small" or "mini" by many knife manufacturers is actually what women can more confidently and comfortably use. This is large enough to be ungainly in my hands.

Great knife - just double-check that it's the right size for your hand first, by measuring a knife you already know and love.

Knives With Ap-peel
19.03.71 @ 1:39 pm | No Comments

Robbins Nest

You know how we love our multitasking gadgets here at CNET. My own personal aversion to clutter makes these basicKnives intriguing. The small collection features three knives--a 6-inch cook's knife, a 4-inch paring knife, and a 3.5-inch paring knife--that incorporate other cutting tools within the surface of the blade.

The cook's knife features a grater/crusher and an herb scoop. The larger paring knife includes a vegetable peeler, and the smaller one holds a zester/decorating tool.

Less to wash, less to store--works for me. I've seen a few comments raised about potential problems with having a grater on the side of the blade--proper chopping technique has chefs resting their knuckles against the blade. But, this isn't a traditional grater--that is, it doesn't look like there's a protrusion, just a perforation in the blade--so these concerns may be unwarranted.

The larger issue is that I can't figure out where to buy the things or how much they cost. So if you track down that info, be sure to post it in the comments.
