I almost didn’t buy this set because I figured I’d have no use for a gimmicky curved knife and a serrated blade, I only wanted the normal paring knife, but the set was only a little bit more expensive than an individual paring knife. As it turns out I use the curved knife more than any other knife I own, and the serrated one more than the normal paring knife- I was fully prepared to hide those two knives in the back of my drawer and never look at them again, but they are really great. I’m sure you can get better knives somewhere, but not at anything remotely close to this price. I am pretty picky about knives, and Forschner’s are definitely the best I have used. I also strongly recommend the 8 inch chefs knife. I guess the best way to sum up my feelings about these (and the 8 inch chef’s knife) is that I would have happily paid 4 or 5 times what they cost.

I’ve ordered this set and other Foschner knives and I highly recommend them.
They are reasonably priced, keep their edge, and are balanced.
I think they are better than my high-priced, over-rated Henckels knives.
It’s great to find a reasonably-priced quality product.

This is a wonderful, very sharp, set of knives… perfect for cutting up anything from deli meats to put in a salad to veggies, etcc… Wash in the dishwasher… great price… Watch when handling… they are sharp

The standard paring knife included here is wonderful. It’s thin, lightweight, flexible, and sharp. It slides through vegetables as easily as it does through butter. It neatly conforms to the contours of what you’re cutting, if you so desire. I cored some tomatoes last night, and didn’t have any issues. Great, too, for mincing garlic.
Honestly, I haven’t really found much use for the other two knives in this package, as they’re specialty knives, and I don’t do a whole lot of the peeling which they’re useful for. The normal paring knife is fine for most non-peeling sorts of tasks.
But, for $10, you’re not going to find a better paring knife. The only way you’re going to get something better is to spend four or five times as much, and I’d rather just buy a new one of these every few years (under heavy use). (As another reviewer said, they’re quite thin, so sharpening would be a pain — I haven’t had to do so, yet.)
