Customer Reviews of Oxo Good Grips 3-1/2-Inch Paring Knife
Customer Rating:  Summary: Very Handy. Comment: We like this so much after several years use we wanted to have two of them and bought another. It is perfect for smaller hands and very ergonomic. We use them both pretty much every day. Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect Paring Knife Comment: Love this knife. It is so easy to hold, particularly if you have any arthritic or other problems. It is also great for small hands. It does not slip and cuts beautifully. This is my second one: the last one was accidently damaged by someone who used it to pry something and bent it. It is meant for cutting food,not cement. Customer Rating:  Summary: Worthless Junk - get a Henckels or Victorinox paring knife instead Comment: I'm a big fan of most of OXO Good Grips products, but after having purchased two of their knives, this one and the 5" mini-chef's knife, I feel compelled to warn people not to waste their money on OXO knives. To be blunt (that is the OXO knife's fate in life - sorry about the pun), the quality and intelligent design for which OXO products are well known does not extend to their cutlery line. First, the handles on these knives are a very sloppy ribbed rubber that provides no more firm of a grip than a dog's rubber squeaky toy. The grips aren't particularly ergonomically shaped, either. Even worse than the grip is the blade itself. Honestly, this knife would have a difficult time cutting cold butter taken straight from the refrigerator. The blades when brand new are dull and have not been ground, sharpened and honed to a useable edge. However, I seriously doubt even a professional knife sharpener could do much with this. Made from cheap stainless steel, this OXO knife's blade is simply not meant to obtain or keep a sharp edge. Avoid this and buy one of the plastic-handled $3-4 Heckels or Victorinox paring knives instead - they are vastly superior and cheaper to boot. Or, for a real change, try one of the Kyocera ceramic paring knives. They are obviously a lot more expenisive, but you still should be able to pick one up for around thirty bucks on Amazon and you will be amazed at how incredibly sharp they are. I was able to slice a section of a grape that was transparent and a mere fraction of a millimeter thick with my Kyocera. Customer Rating: Summary: Terrific...arthritis sufferers in the house Comment: Oxo's knife glides over the item you wish to peal, sharp and easy to direct. The gripping piece is larger than normal knives and shaped more comfortably in the palm making it feel lighter in hand than our other knives. We have this knife (back to get a few extras) and the swivel top parer that is also a delight to use--head and shoulders above the regular parer for ease and comfort. Both Oxo items highly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: Low quality product. Comment: This is a poorly made product. After a few months of use, the blade broke off. The handle is hard, brittle plastic covered with soft plastic. The blade extends into the brittle plastic only a little bit. The results were inevitable. Pure junk. More Reviews The Good Grips Paring Knife is a fine-edge knife that's reliable, comfortable and easy-to-use. The sharp, tapered stainless steel blade pares through anything, while non-slip grips keeps your Paring Knife in your hand, even when wet. The soft handle relieves pressure on your hand. 
Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers By law manufacturers must disclose the energy efficiency of their appliances, rated A to G. These are usually displayed prominently in showrooms. The better the rating, the more energy efficient the appliance is - good for both the environment and your pocket. Choosing Appliance -> Salad spinner While some may consider this a bit on the gadgety side, I think it is a must as dressings do not stick to water-logged salad greens.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Cleaning & Maintenance Oven Never use a scouring pad of any sort to remove stubborn stains or soiled areas, since these pads scratch the finish and any future soiled areas won't clean up as well, especially with the self-cleaning models. When the oven is cool to the touch, place a cloth or sponge, dampened with warm to hot tap water, onto the soiled area and allow it to sit, for about ten minutes or so, to help loosen the soil. |
