Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chicago Cutlery Metropolitan 2.75-Inch Paring Knife
Customer Review: Really Handy Little Knife
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally got this knife as a freebie with a knife block set. At first I thought it was going to be useless, it was so tiny. I started using it when my favorite knife was being used for something else and I came to love this little knife. It's little, it's handy, it's very maneuverable. Perfect for a lot of small tasks like chopping olives, cutting the greens off strawberries, removing membranes from green peppers, or cutting bad spots out of vegetables. Fine for slicing smaller items like cucumbers, carrots, etc. Great for lopping things out in the garden--harvesting herbs or zucchini, for example, or cutting flowers. I didn't know how much I had come to like this knife till it disappeared. I can only imagine that it accidentally went in the trash and I could not rest till I replaced it.
My very favorite knife is a 20-year-old Old Hickory paring knife that is all pitted and jagged but still beats all the competition. I have bought several knives over the years, thinking the Old Hickory would have to be retired, but nothing ever came close so I just keep sharpening and using it. The Chicago Cutlery 2.75-inch cannot replace it simply because it's too small to be all-purpose, but it's the only knife I've bought that can hold a candle to the Old Hickory.

Ideal for trimming, peeling, cleaning, and removing blemishes on fruits and vegetables, its small size and nimble profile excel at any task that prizes delicacy, dexterity, and control. Chicago Cutlery?s Metropolitan line of knives makes an affordable introduction to high-quality kitchen cutlery. Stamped rather than forged for lighter weight and a more reasonable price, the blades are made from high-carbon stainless steel for rust and stain resistance and longer-lasting sharpness. Chicago?s exclusive Taper Grind edge produces impressively precise slices and retains its sharpness well over time; these knives will need to be re-sharpened regularly, but they take an edge beautifully and with regular maintenance can stay out-of-the-box sharp for years.

Contoured, ergonomically designed polymer handles feature contemporary styling and are durable and non-porous, so they?re impervious to water and bacteria for increased food safety. Triple brass rivets secure the handle to the blade for extra stability. Chicago Cutlery covers their knives with a lifetime guarantee; they recommend hand-washing and drying for best results. --Mary Park
