By definition, a shitty knife.

Sorry. The image was too small. I have enlarged it now. The knife he was flushing down the toilet is a regular knife. He made the disposable blade knife and asked how much will you pay for it.
Doesn’t look like a piece of shit.

I am the proud owner of four new knives, but didn’t even think, about them, Or a paring knife until after I cut up two big pieces of onion,; and started on some garlic cloves.
This round tipped serrated knife (Zwilling Twin Grip) seemed like a non starter. I’m having a hard time imagining when I would reach for that, and can’t figure out why I chose it.
I did try the pink one with a pointy tip and tiny serrations on the blade ( Victorinox Swiss Classic paring), and promptly punctured my finger, doing something off the board and in my hand.
I think I was working on the peppers. I’ve never noticed doing that before, cutting in my hand, but noticed someone making a point of using a paring knife that way in a video. I think he was actually paring something.
I felt most inclined to use this one ( Henckels Solution) I liked the handle better than the other Henkel, but it certainly didn’t cut like the one being repaired.
I went back to the pink one with the tiny teeth, on the board, to slice the garlic.
Then finished chopping with my good old 20 + year old Santoku
Now to finish the peppers.
Finished with the other Henkel ("Dynamic)
It worked, but was somehow unsatisfying.

Thanks for the review. I guess people use the round tip serrated knife for “safety”, thinking it is safer without a tip. Maybe it works well as a bagel knife or a tomato knife. Serrating into these items and never use the tip.
Yeah, these $20 knives are just that… to keep you going while your better one is being repaired/sharpened. My guess is that they also won’t able to hold an edge as good as the one you have sent out for repairment.

The victorinox round tipped serrated knife is also sold as a streak knife. That’s how I got my first ones.

Ah. That makes sense.
I think the idea behind the green one is to have both a spreading capability and dependable slicing of difficult things like tomato. It could do a BLT pretty well

I see. It seems short for bigger tomatoes, but I have used it that way. Also, husband uses a big bread knife to cut burritos in half, and this should be great for that, and for sandwiches.
It’s been months since I took steel to stone and I was kinda bored today, so…

You can also use the Yellow Page as knife block. Just store there. That is a nice idea (if you are)

I use a knife magnet mounted on the wall for aesthetics, the phone book is too unsightly to keep on my counter

Similar to what Kaleo described, I’d view this as a “sandwich knife.” Cutco offers a more exaggerated version; something like a short spatula with serrations along one side. Their idea was that you could use it to cut, spread, and build all the ingredients for your sandwich. I had one for several years and never used it, so I gave it away.

For some inexplicable reason that very Cutco knife is in my drawer, too. It is too stiff to spread well. The serrated edge gets in the midst of things and can be dangerous. It is kind of a mess. It may get donated.

Put your Yellow Pages up (or two), and you get yourself an universal knife block.
Apparently someone is making a business out of this.

Wow! Tie a few old books together and call it a “knife block” and sell it for $45! What a scam
But what if you need to make a call on the rotary dial wallphone?

Vintage books from 1920s and it comes with a twine.
