This paring knife is a really good length for apples and potatoes among other things.  The handle fits comfortably in your hand for peeling jobs.  This is a stamped knife made in Germany from specially formulated steel so it will resist corrosion and chipping plus maintain a sharp edge use after use.  This knife has a full tang which means the steel runs through to the tip of the handle, not all stamped knives have a full tang which provides more stability and strength that you can feel while cutting.
