Kuhn Rikon COLORI Utility Knife with Safety Sheath, 5 inch/12.70 cm Blade, Red

We have 2 of these knives a 5" knife like this one shown. These knives are really excellent. They come new very sharp and they are very easy to keep sharp. I use an ordinary steel to resharpen them and they stay extremely sharp. Do yourself a favor and try one.

It would have better if the handle had some texture instead of being smooth! I also have the set of paring knives from this manufacturer and the handles have a very subtle but helpful textured handle.

The knives made by this company are always sharp, comfortable fitting, and long lasting. What more can a person want in a kitchen knife!

This is my favorite Kuhn Rikon knife, even better than the paring knives. The blade is just enough longer to make chopping easier. That said, I wish it came in some of the cute colors and patterns that the paring knives do (like purple polka dots!)

Like the knife sheath and got it to take on trips (of which there are none lately). But have been using it at home. It’s versatile and very sharp.

I’ve been cooking over 40 years and I never realized how much I depend on the shape of a knife to tell me which edge is up. This is a nice knife but in the week I’ve had it, I’ve had to correct its postition more than all knives I’ve ever used, combined. It is sharp, seems to be well made, and I love the red! I don’t want to fuss with learning to always check which edge way is up. If I still had the package it came in, I’d return it but will instead put it in the give away box.

This knife is very sharp I cut through frozen meat with it with no problem

While this 5-inch knife is sharp and the non-stick quality works well, I was very disappointed in the design. The blade is not wider than the handle so you can't really use the whole knife due to you knuckles hitting the chopping board. I should have picked up on this from the photo on the Web. Also, the handle feels heavy and klunky. Minor point, the package says it's a 6-inch knife so I measured the blade, which is 5 inches as stated on the Web. To show you what I mean in terms of the design, below is a photo of my 4-inch green Kuhn Rikon 4-inch knife, which is well designed, next to the 5-inch red knife I just purchased. Both knives are made in China and say so on the plastic handles (my old knife says "Kuhn Rikon, Switzerland" and the new knife says "Kuhn Rikon, Swiss Design).
