Testers found the knife comfortable to use for extended periods, noting that it didn’t tire out their hands. They appreciated the thin, lightweight design, and the easy-to-grip plastic handle also proved dishwasher-safe.

2. PRECISION PERFORMANCE

In our Lab tests, this knife retained its sharp edge and delivered clean cuts. It did not chip or dull, even after extended use.

3. VERSATILE DESIGN

The slightly flexible blade excels at detailed tasks from coring fruit and scoring pie dough to halving cherry tomatoes and peeling garlic and potatoes.

4. VARIETY OF COLORS

The knife is available in seven hues that you can choose to match your kitchen decor or to designate for specific tasks. The bright handles also make the knives easy to spot in a crowded utensil drawer.
