The cheapest knife in the drawer and the one used most often · review
Three small stainless knives with colored handles at the price of a coffee — the category where a multipack is genuinely better than one expensive blade.
What we would actually buy Paring knives are the one category where three cheap sharp ones beat one expensive blade somebody else is using.
Three small stainless kitchen knives with colored handles, ground sharp, for peeling, trimming and fine work.
A paring knife is used in the hand as often as on the board, and it is the knife most often unavailable. Three of them means one is always clean, and losing one costs nothing.
Steel grade and hardness. At this price the honest expectation is a soft stainless that sharpens in seconds and needs it often — which for a small blade is a reasonable trade.
Useful beyond decoration: one color for raw meat, another for everything else. It is the cheapest way to keep boards and blades separated.

Because the paring knife is the one that ends up in the dishwasher basket or the fruit bowl exactly when you need it. A second and third cost less than the search.
They make it easy to keep one knife for raw meat and another for everything else, which is a habit rather than a product feature and a useful one.
