It Really Does the Job!
I love the Four Star Knives. I have a block set and was afraid this knife was the same as the 5 inch serrated utility knife only with a forked tip, but it's not. This knife has much finer serrations and slices through tomatoes beautifully! I know a separate tomato knife sounds like over-kill, but we slice tomatoes daily. I plan to use the 5 inch serrated utility knife for bagels, lemons, limes, etc. and keep this knife strictly for tomatoes.

The Best Knife I Own
I bought a collection of Pro-S knives about a year ago and never thought this one would be the one I used the most. It is great for use as advertised - peeling, strawberries, etc. But what they don't tell you is how many other things it is useful; cutting chicken legs and thighs, cutting away the ribs from prime rib, and any task where you need to cut something you can't see. Mine dropped on the floor and the tip bent today - definately want to take care of this knife - and if it doesn't straighten out right I guarantee I'll be buying another one.

the perfect paring knife
I used this knife at a friends house. The balance is great. You can tell this is a quality knife. The small tip end is great for coring strawberries. The slightly wider area by the base makes it nice for pealing thin skinned items such at potatoes. This is a must for anyone that picks strawberries to core and freeze. I liked it so much I'm purchasing one for myself. You can't get anything like this at local store.

Looks funny but does a wonderful job.
I've used this knife way more than I thought I would. My one modification to this knife would be to introduce a slight curve to the cutting edge. The straight (unserrated) portion on the tip of the knife is handy for quick short cuts.

Handy utensil
Very good for cutting thin or thick slices of any cheese, including softer cheese. Easier to cut thin slices with this knife than using a wire slicer, and it can go in the dishwasher. It is hard to believe the higher priced brands can do the job better.

Now I can cut my cheese and (almost) eat it, too!
Hi, I'm Frank, and I'll be doin' this here product review while my good buddy Zaggy hits the tank for this week's big arenaball contest. Today I'm gonna talk about this really cool-looking cheese knife that I got as a gag gift. What's the gag, you ask? Well, you see, I have trouble digesting dairy products, especially cheese, which means I can't have any. Um, cheese that is. Not an ounce of brie, a smidgeon of edam, nor a gram of gouda can pass my lips without me havin' to pay the consequences the followin' day. It can be a nightmarish existence at times, y'know?

You might think that my inability to ingest that forbidden fromage would discourage me from using this cool piece of dairy cutlery. Well, that would be the farthest thing from the truth, 'cuz even though I can't eat the cheese, I sure as heck can cut it pretty good! Yep, this little guy goes right through the Philly and American singles slices like nobody else's business! Okay, so it takes a bit more work to saw through the harder cheeses (such as cheddar and swiss)-- but the results are more than worth the effort! And the two spikes at the end are really good for stabbin' a cube of camembert, and then flingin' it across the room with a good flick of the wrist! Ah, the fun I have with cheese, even though I can't eat it...

Another cool thing I like about this knife are those big ol' holes in the middle of the blade. Not only do these voids minimize wind drag and help lighten things up, they're also good to have if you want to hang the implement up on your wall! Gee, what won't they think up next...

G'Bye

Great buy
Great for small cheese blocks, for large blocks of cheese you will need a longer blade. This blade is too short for a 4-5 lb. loaf of cheese, there is not enough blade for leverage.
