The Kuhn Rikon Colori Knife 10cm is the safest and most adaptable all-purpose knife you can have for travelling, picnics, and paring. The small size also makes it good for children's hands.
The Kuhn Rikon Parer in all its bright colours has spurred a legion of dodgy lookalikes. This one is the original and best. The bright colours (hence colori) make it easy to find in a drawer or a bag. The plastic safety sheaf protects fingers when not in use – it actually makes it possible to safely pack a knife in your suitcase (check-in only remember) when flying.
The sheaf also protects the ceramic coated carbon steel blade. Did we mention that the blade slices beautifully and easily without staining ? Its edge lasts for ages, but it still sharpens like other knives.
Kuhn Rikon is Switzerland's premium kitchenware brand. They've been in existence since 1899. The Colori Paring Knife is the work of their celebrated designer Philipp Beyeler.
