Review on πŸ”ͺ Farberware Professional Paring Knives Set – Aqua Sky and Grey: Enhanced Precision and Versatility by Carol Fowler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The blade is thicker than I'm used to, the tips are rounded instead of pointed

These paring knives have a rounded point, not a sharp one, and have heavy serrations along the entire edge. The jagged edge appears to "bite" into the flesh of the veg and hold onto it as it cuts, leaving jagged marks on the sliced veg, which I think looks good on some things like cucumbers. (Please see the photo, there are nicks on the meat but the skin was made with a Euro cleaner). The blade is thicker than I expected, so it takes a bit more force to cut (a cucumber in my case) than with my thinner but thinner knife I usually use. The handle is comfortable and offers a good grip. I think it's ok, but the thicker blade takes a little getting used to. These knives seem fine for everyday use when working with fruit and vegetables, but the rounded tips make them unsuitable for other jobs like deveining shrimp or carving small seeds out of fruit. I don't know why the tips are rounded, but for me it takes away the versatility of the knives. Due to the unusual thickness of the blades and the rounded tips, these knives will most likely not be my favorite knives to use on a daily basis, but I will still use them when I need a stronger blade. Thank you for reading.
